And

Media

During the last couple months i have been working to build up a more prominent internet presence for my work. I post 1-2 instagram reels per week. My instagram account: @jessesmolan_film has allowed me to receive more recognition from creatives I wouldn’t otherwise cross paths with.

I freelance for my university, conducting, shooting, and editing professional interviews to produce captivating promotional content.

It's incredibly rewarding to see how my work can impact the university's image and help prospective students connect with our community. Through this role, I've honed my skills in storytelling and technical production.

Bio

As a freelance filmmaker, I have been producing short films, documentaries, and music videos since I was young. I am passionate about storytelling and have a keen eye for visual composition. Over the years, I have honed my skills in directing, cinematography, and post-production, and have developed a unique visual style that has been praised by audiences and critics.

My approach

My work has been featured in several film festivals and has won several awards, including top selections from World Film Carnival in Singapore, Hollywood Verge Film Awards, and Brussels Capital Film Festival. A recent project titled “Runaway” was also recognized by SONY as being “Best in Show.” In addition to my own projects, I have also worked as a cinematographer and editor on a number of other films and have been sought out by clients for my expertise in visual storytelling.

In my current work as a freelance filmmaker, I am dedicated to creating engaging and thought-provoking films that push the boundaries of traditional storytelling. I am constantly seeking out new and innovative ways to tell stories and am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to showcase my work.
