Hello!
My name is Jasper and I am a storyteller. I believe it is everyone’s responsibility to do their part to to make the world a better place, and for me that is through sharing important stories and information in ways that engage audiences.
Videos by passionate people have educated me, changed my views, and inspired me. I want to make videos that can create that change in other people.
In May, 2024, I graduated from the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication with a Bachelor of Art in Multimedia Journalism with a minor in Political Science. I am currently seeking employment in video production, photography and related arts, and I am willing to travel or relocate. Temporary or internship work is also welcome.
I have experience creating engaging videos around many topics including art exhibitions, the role fire plays in the Sequoia ecosystems, and social justice movements like unions. My photography credentials include live-event work and posed photography. Strong writing and social media skills round out my experience, making me a good pick for today’s multi-faceted job roles.
If you think I might be a good fit for your project, please contact me: jasper.willson@gmail.com
