Jason’s documentary expertise is exemplified by projects like Shadow Play: The Making of Anton Corbijn (2009), a compelling film that explores the life and career of renowned photographer and filmmaker Anton Corbijn. Featuring interviews with Bono, Chris Martin, Michael Stipe, and Dave Gahan, the documentary demonstrates Jason’s skill in producing stories that illuminate sub-culture, creative impact and legacy.

Jason is deeply committed to creating work with social and cultural impact. His projects explore stories that matter, from Abebe – Butterfly Song (2023), a feature documentary celebrating musical friendship and cultural connection, to Gatwick – The Last Chance Hotel (2019), which captures the human spirit within Melbourne’s iconic hotel community.
