Approach
Story before format.
Each film begins with people, places
and a reason to look closer.
JASA Productions
From the first idea to the finished film
A documentary sensibility, whatever the form.
Research, access and observation shape the work.
Understanding a subject comes before deciding how to tell its story.
Creative development, writing, direction, production and editing
come together around a clear point of view.
Listen & research
Find the human story. Understand the people, the context and what makes a place or project specific.
Develop
Shape the idea, the narrative and the visual language. Let the story guide the format and the scale of production.
Make the film
Bring direction and production together with close attention to performance, atmosphere, image and sound.
Find the rhythm
Build the film through editing, sound and finishing, preserving the point of view that brought it into being.
