About

I’m Jake Thomas, a hands-on digital video and content production leader with 25+ years of experience producing, directing, and editing stories for broadcast, film, and online platforms. Based in Sudbury, Ontario, I’ve delivered 200+ hours of television programming and 100+ one-hour podcast episodes, translating complex, interview-driven material into clear and engaging narratives that still meet tight deadlines and delivery requirements.

I lead projects end-to-end—from concept and story shaping through production, post, finishing, and final distribution. I also bring strong client collaboration and multi-project coordination experience, ensuring editorial pacing, technical quality (including multi-camera and field audio workflows), and business goals are aligned from first shoot to final deliverables.
