I'm Jordan Kahn, a filmmaker, photographer, and writer based in Daytona Beach, Florida. I founded Lightwave Filmworks in 2012 and wear many hats—from accounting to editing and scoring, camera man and drone pilot. The results include filming endangered species research with the University of Florida, turning a marine manufacturer's history into a beloved biopic, and re-imagining a national food brand's promotional film as a documentary that went on to win national awards. I previously worked in journalism and documentary storytelling, including a long tenure at the Daytona Beach News-Journal as a columnist, copy editor, photographer, designer, reporter, videographer and web developer, with awards and recognitions across national and regional programs.
