04·About
I co-founded Jynx Productions in Yarmouth, Maine, in 2005 and have co-run it since. The steadiest thread is Galileo, the prime-time factual program on ProSieben, where we have been the exclusive US production partner for more than a decade. It is not the only thread. I have made segments and branded films for companies including Red Bull, and commissioned work for institutions: the International Finance Corporation, Bowdoin College, Deutsche Bank, the Maine Tourism Association. Some of it goes out to two million people on a weeknight. Some of it plays to a room of forty donors. The work of getting it right does not change much between the two.
Before Maine I spent five years at Bloomberg, producing and presenting German-language business news for the European channel and working with editorial teams in New York, London and Frankfurt.
These days I usually have four to six productions going at once, at different stages, all with fixed air dates. Requests come to me first. I build the schedule and I hire the crew out of a roster I have been adding to for twenty years: cinematographers, editors and sound operators I have worked with since the beginning. The budget is mine as well, anywhere from fifteen thousand dollars to a hundred and eighty.
What I like best is still the interview. Most of the people I film do not do this for a living. They are entrepreneurs, researchers, community members, families, and they have half an hour to say something true to a stranger with a camera pointed at them. Getting them there, and then protecting them in the edit, is most of the job. The rest is directing in the field and supervising the cut.
05·Capabilities
End to end, from the first conversation about whether a story is filmable through to a master that meets broadcast specification.
