Now that we’ve talked to a few Cinematographers about the importance of a DP on your project, we want to talk to the people who hire the DP… the Director. What are they looking for? How do they collaborate? How do you know the person you're interviewing is “the one?”

For an inside look into the brain of a Director on his DP, we’re bringing in friend and colleague, Jason C. Brown. Not only has Jason been the Director for a number of OUR projects, but he also worked on a TON of sets ranging in all sizes and a variety of jobs. So he’s seen first hand the inner workings of some of the Big Boys, and he’s also been a part of unique projects like “Drunk History" and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” Jason is also just a ton of fun to chat with, so this is going to be a great interview.

Jason C. Brown has worked on both Oscar & Emmy-winning productions and is a long-time member of the Directors Guild of America. He began his career after earning a Bachelor of Arts in Zoology (with a minor in Film Studies) at Miami University. Over the past two decades, he has served as 1st Assistant Director, Production Manager, and Director on a wide swathe of film and television productions— including high-profile titles like Avatar, Last Week Tonight, and Drunk History.

Jason is known for his disciplined approach to collaboration, strong logistical acumen on large sets and creative clarity when stepping into the director’s chair for his wide range of projects. Short films such as Panic Button, Imaginary Friends, and Meet Cute showcase his ability to balance humor, emotion, and human connection.
