About

I’m J.B. Bauersfeld—an award-winning broadcast journalist and documentary storyteller with 20+ years behind the camera and in the control room. From leading a sports department at WIBW to producing, directing, shooting, and editing sports and documentary content, I’ve built a career on strong storytelling, clear communication, and high-pressure live event production.

Today, I’m the founder of Bauer House Films in Burbank, where I create platform-specific documentary work for athletes, actors, business owners, and creatives. I work end-to-end—interviewing, lighting, sound recording, multi-camera capture, editing in Final Cut/Premiere/Edius, and delivering both traditional and vertical-first content that connects with audiences.
