An original story world, told live on stage for 30,000 people from 2011 to 2014, then as the Meta-funded VR games Ionia (2021) and Eolia (2023), available today.

Storyteller
Stories at every scale
I design, direct, edit, and produce, always starting from the core story and the journey of the person experiencing it. The stage changes: a concert hall, a headset, a broadcast, the largest screen on earth. The job stays the same.
FIFA World Cup 2026
Photorealistic digital twins of the tournament's stadiums and 3D logo designs for Fox Sports' World Cup coverage.
Keanu Reeves
Visuals and virtual backgrounds for Keanu Reeves' band Dogstar, including the music video for "Everything Turns Around."
Consulting services
Bring me in early
I consult for any company that can benefit from media and entertainment. That's my expertise: growing the business, building and leading creative teams, and running art production that delivers. Bring me in as a strategist, or as fractional art leadership.
Grow the business
Strategic insight, risk assessment, and M&A opportunities that drive growth.
Build the team
Team assessment and development, flexible art teams, and recruiting strategies that attract and keep top creative talent.
Run the art
Part-time art leadership, plus production and outsourcing strategy that clears bottlenecks and keeps work moving.
Teacher
Shaping the next creative technologists
Since 2023 I've been an Adjunct Professor at Berklee College of Music, teaching the senior-level business class for film and game scoring undergraduates. Hundreds of students in, the lesson holds: the direct paths matter, like scoring a AAA game, but the bigger opportunity is often adjacent.

Philanthropist
It started with a song of peace
ROTU began with one idea: bring 90 musicians from 90 countries together to write and sing a song of peace. The video went viral in 2011 and led to a live performance at Symphony Hall in Boston, which launched ROTU. That purpose has stayed in the work ever since.

Mercury Uprising
I produced this documentary and music video for Wildlife Warriors, traveling into the Peruvian Amazon to film illegal gold mining and deforestation at real personal risk. It screened at the COP20 and COP21 United Nations climate conferences.
The first VR game with a nonprofit partner
Ionia partnered with Wildlife Warriors, the conservation charity founded by Steve Irwin. Robert Irwin appears at the end of the game, and 5% of every copy sold went to Wildlife Warriors.
Investor
Investing in game developers and creative technologists
I invest in individuals and teams pushing the boundaries of storytelling, primarily with real-time graphics engines, new production techniques, and applied AI. That means games, the developers behind them, and the creative technologists taking those skills into every sector of media and entertainment.
A note from Jason
Thanks for stopping by. If you're building something in media and entertainment, investing in it, or teaching the next generation to make it, I'd like to hear from you.
