Available to hire
Hi, I’m J. Dominic Jackson, a versatile filmmaker, sound engineer, and musician with a strong track record across studio, location, and live-event production. I specialize in all stages of media creation—from concept development and pre-production to filming, editing, and sound design. I wrote, directed, shot, and edited Polar, a feature film that won the Fresh European Content at Trebinje Film Festival, and distributed on Amazon, Apple TV, Virgin Media, Plex, and more.
I’m known for delivering high-quality, original content across film, music, animation, and social media, and I enjoy collaborating with teams to bring ideas to life. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am adept at turning concepts into polished media that resonates with audiences.
