S. Jason
Cole
Kansas City, Missouri Area
Born and raised in the midwest, I am a filmmaker and artist with roots in rural America. With a wide range of skills and knowledge, from stretching fence to non-linear editing, there’s no job I can’t handle. I hold a Ph.D. in Film and Media Studies from the University of Kansas and previously worked for over 10 years in higher education. I currently work for Ogden Publications as the Manager of Video Content for seven magazine titles including Mother Earth News, Grit, Mother Earth Living and Utne Reader. In my role at Ogden I am responsible for every step of the video production process from concept development and client pitch sessions to scriptwriting, shooting, editing, graphic design and animation. Once content is complete I coordinate with the editorial staff and marketing departments to promote the videos across print issues, websites, and mobile apps.

I am a freelance film/video producer, creating work for clients and working on my own passion projects including documentaries, experimental films, and short animations. I am also a 2 time USCA 9-wicket Croquet champion.
