Jason Carman is a young director at the dawn of an exciting filmmaking journey. Starting at the age of nine, Jason's early fascination with filmmaking saw him creating short films and mastering visual effects. His dedication and talent earned him the Best Visual Effects award at the All-American High School Film Festival, chosen from 4,000 entrants, along with a full-ride scholarship which he declined to pursue filmmaking full-time right out of high school.
Jason’s inspirations come from the realms of sci-fi and fantasy, with classics like Star Wars and Lord of the Rings fueling his passion for cinematic universes and the art of escapism. Even before his career officially began, Jason was dreaming of building a film studio dedicated to interconnected storytelling.
He gained diverse industry experience by working at 2K Games on creative commercial editing and production for video game titles, and directing music videos and overseeing album rollouts in the music industry. Two years ago, he joined Astranis, a satellite startup with a mission to provide affordable internet to underserved populations. There, he crafted a compelling visual brand and documented the transformative impact of technology in remote areas, sparking his love for deep tech.
A year ago, Jason launched his ambitious project "S³," where he produced 52 documentaries in a year, highlighting deep tech companies shaping the future. Without any marketing, he grew an audience of 60,000 passionate viewers who craved more optimistic content about deep tech. S³ gained a dedicated fan base, inspired by the vision and storytelling that Jason brought to life.
Jason describes himself as a "prove it" person, focusing on tangible results from big ideas. He believes in a holistic approach to filmmaking, where creating, marketing, and rolling out a film are all integral parts of the cinematic experience. Inspired by directors like Spielberg, Lucas, Nolan, and Villeneuve, he aims to push the boundaries of storytelling and create impactful, thought-provoking content.
As Jason embarks on this next chapter, his goal is to inspire optimism and empower others to shape the future. With a proven track record of innovation and a bold creative vision, Jason Carman is set to bring fresh, compelling narratives to the film industry and captivate audiences worldwide.
