When I was a toddler my parents couldn't find me a babysitter, so they did what any responsible guardians would've done... they brought me to my first Saturday matinee... Tim Burton's Beetlejuice. That first encounter with movie magic exploded into a lifelong passion that had taken me from acting to art direction to producing. I even gave music a shot as a singer-songwriter. But that hectic vagabond existence became hard to sustain. I needed to refine my focus. After soul searching and strategizing my next step in a new direction, I came to the conclusion that I didn't want to work on one element of filmmaking. I wanted to work on them all, but that didn't seem possible... until I discovered the joy of editing. Since that time, I've earned my B.F.A. at the Academy of Art University where I majored in editing, while simultaneously starting ScreenDrifter Productions -- my freelance post production company. ​ Being an editor has been the most rewarding avenue I've walked down in my creative journey and I'm excited for whatever future collaborations are on the horizon.

Hello, my name is James Bloniarz. I've been shooting / directing / editing videos full-time for the past 5 years or so. I've shot a lot of music-related stuff -- music videos, behind-the-scenes, and artist profile videos. I've also shot commercial, fashion, travel, and comedy videos. I own my own Sony gear: a pair of a7sii's, a handful of lenses, shotguns, lavs, filters, lights, etc. I edit in Premiere and AfterEffects. I come from a graphic design background so I am also totally proficient in Illustrator and Photoshop. I've directed videos for some high profile music clients: Rihanna, The Beatles (streaming music launch), Lil Yachty, and a dozen more mostly in the "urban" music category. But I truly love creating videos for any industry.
