Jason’s first work with the moving image was as an underwater videographer in the US Virgin Islands. Hurricanes eventually forced him topside, and he worked for four years in Texas as a first AD, Production Manager, and Producer on regional and national commercials. On the heels of his 2001 award-winning short film The Post-Modern Man, he moved to Los Angeles and began directing full-time for clients such as Intel, Compaq, Microsoft, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda. His ability to combine visual flare with the fundamentals of storytelling gained the attention of Group101 Spots, and the subsequent commercials led to his joining Amazon Films in the US. In 2006 he moved to London to marry an Italian photographer. J.L. currently directs a variety of corporate films, virals, and commercials in Europe for clients such as LloydsTSB, Nationwide, Sainsbury’s, T-Mobile, Unilever, KPMG, Investec, Royal Mail, and O2/Telefonica. Work with Camino Media has continued to feed his passion for all things Mediterranean.

Michael feels privileged to have directed, written and produced factual stories about natural history, science, and cultures for leading documentary broadcasters and institutions like the United Nations – the latter being a film about Muslims in North America which won best documentary recognition at the Philadelphia Film Festival.
Television journalism schooling at the University of Southern California first whet his appetite for visual storytelling. Reporting work at ABC Television affiliates honed his skills to open a one-man-bureau as Iberia correspondent for the Deutsche Welle TV program “European Journal” airing on PBS. The satisfaction derived from that program’s news magazine format set him on a path to create longer format stories across Iberia for National Geographic Channel and Discovery Channel.
Memorable productions further afield have included video journalism assignments in the Amazon for APTN and his weaving of Euronews’ editorial criteria together with the aims of government and business leaders to direct, produce and write 15-minute docu-promos broadcast on the channel to draw investment and tourism to a dozen European, African and Asian countries.
