EDIT & SOUND
Hi. My name is Jonathan. I tell stories about people and brands.
The Ranchlands
!EDIT
The talented Photographer Niklas Söderlund, with whom I have worked with on the Land Rover project (see below) asked me, if I could edit this small documentary about a cowboy and his ranch. Immediately, I knew this project was going to be something special. And so the journey began. An international production purely driven by passion and love for filmmaking…

ENO - BLei platin
!EDIT / GRADING
I love music videos. The process just as much as the final result. There is so much more freedom than in other projects but at the same time so much more pressure…Everything comes with a price I guess.
