In the immortal words of a viral guy on YouTube:
WHAT THE HELL IS EVEN THAT?!
Well, we haven’t named him yet, but he’s really adorable he showed up on our doorstep in basket.
What would you name him?
THE HUMANS
Hi, I’m Jordan!
I’m a director, producer, photographer, creative director and the founder of
The Human Lens.
Through my work in film, TV, and journalism, I strive to bring stories to life and connect with audiences on a human level.
With the experience of serving in the U.S. Air Force for over 9 years, including 3 deployments in support of Operation Inherent Resolve, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Operation Freedom Sentinel, I’ve gained a unique perspective and a strong dedication to my craft.
I feel grateful to have worked with clients like Shriners Hospital for Children, Disabled Veterans of America, Paralyzed Veterans of America, NAACP, Covenant House, and No Kid Hungry, and my work has been recognized by esteemed organizations such as The American Society of Cinematographers, The Department of Defense, and film festivals across the globe including the Festival de Cannes and deadCenter Film Festival.
