I'm a 29-year-old Paris-NY-LA based filmmaker. Over the years I've worked with various clients in documentaries, short form and digital marketing. I produce, shoot and edit. I love to work on projects that inspire people and love achieving that through the power of visual storytelling. This past year, I started my own production company, www.sauvageproductions.com, where I acquired clients such as Wework and collaborated with other independant productions companies. Prior to that, in New York I was staff a editor at Lincoln Center, the largest arts institution in the world, and cut mini docs, promotional pieces and sizzles for their digital marketing division. I enjoy every aspect of production and love creating content for myself and others.

I am a writer/producer/editor/fixer based in LA, CA. I work with digital productions companies writing and producing content for non-profits and individuals looking to create anything from explainers to short form narrative films. Most recently, Univision asked Wondros, a company with which I work, to create a piece which would advocate for U.S. immigration reform. I wrote and directed an interactive film that compares a day in the life of an undocumented family to that of a documented family. The project far exceeded Univision’s expectations, reaching almost five million views in its first few days online. It was spontaneously shared by tens of thousands of people as well as the Bernie Sanders campaign.

Jackson, in search of our country's untold stories.

From shooting atop 350-ft tall wind turbines to inside caves to the jungles of Central America, I have done a lot of interesting work in some unique situations. I have 12+ years experience as a filmmaker, where I've learned how to do nearly everything myself, including shooting, editing, motion graphics, writing scripts, and presenting/hosting on camera. I have ridden my bicycle across America (twice), creating videos to promote bicycle travel, and have created a 10-episode web series using nothing but stock media. I shoot a lot of nature stock footage with cinema cameras, and create filmmaking tutorials.
