Portrait of Jon Thomas

BIO

I’m a Cinematographer with over a decade of experience working in the Film & Television industry. My career has spanned feature length narrative and documentary films as well as commercials for brands like Google, Nintendo, Subway, Salt Spring Coffee, Travel Alberta, Starbucks and Toyota. My long form work has screened in theatres across Canada & the USA, as well as at film festivals including Sundance, BFI London, and Whistler.

My richly varied background has afforded me the opportunity to nurture my heart-centred approach to storytelling all over the world. I’m driven by a passion to connect with people, and to illuminate their stories on screen. I bring genuine curiosity, a willingness to listen, learn and adapt, and an uncompromising work ethic to each project I’m a part of. I’m always looking forward to meeting more people with whom I can collaborate to create art which challenges, moves and inspires.

I am presently working on a sequel to the acclaimed 1994 documentary, Hoop Dreams, set to release in 2027.
