REVEAL THE HUMAN

My name is Jon Banach, and I am a cinematographer and colorist devoted to the craft of humanist, empathetic, and cinematic storytelling. In every story that I photograph, it’s imperative that I find within it and reveal the human element that lies underneath the facades we put on every day.

Each project must become emotionally rooted to this mission, for it is the seed of empathy of which all artistic intentions flow from and towards. It is our job as filmmakers, as artists, to foster connection and empathy among all those who experience our work.

In fostering empathy, we create art that extends beyond ourselves and unto the community and society at large, making us feel a little bit less alone, and ultimately, a little bit more human.

I have years of experience and enjoy working in all fields of cinematic and commercial storytelling, so you’ll see projects here that I’ve written, directed, and edited, but I am currently focused on pursuing and growing in the fields of cinematography and coloring.
