Through Migrant Media, Jon has crafted a compelling and courageous body of documentary work that gives voice to those too often left unheard. His lens doesn’t just observe—it bears witness. With a documentarian’s rigor and a storyteller’s heart, he weaves together striking imagery, intimate interviews, and a deep respect for the struggles and triumphs of working people. His films resonate with authenticity and an abiding sense of justice.

The Pitch In Initiative which works with Santa Cruz County to end litter and illegal dumping hired Migrant Media to highlight our collaboration with four nonprofit environmental education programs. Migrant Media worked within budget, on a limited timeframe in a variety of environments: in the wetlands, on the water, near river habitats and on beaches with school aged children to create four short compelling info-videos. Jon's experience, flexibility, professionalism and sensitivity were greatly appreciated.
