About
I’m James Loveland, a filmmaker and producer who loves taking stories from development through post-production. I co-founded Papa Bird Studio and have written, directed, and co-produced feature work, while also creating client videos including commercials, training content, and event coverage.
My background also includes hands-on set work as a key grip and production support, where I’ve led grip operations, built and adjusted lighting and camera rigs, and coordinated closely with the camera, electric, and production departments to support the director and DP’s vision. I’m skilled across both production and post, using tools like Avid Media Composer and the Adobe Creative Suite to deliver polished final content.
