Filmmaker · AI builder · Middle Tennessee

Pull up a chair. The lantern's on.

I'm Jason. I've spent twenty years behind a camera, first in churches and Christian radio, then running a production company, and lately building AI that does a surprising amount of my editing. That last part has me thinking hard about work, faith, fatherhood and which old ideas still hold up when everything else is moving this fast. This is where I keep that thinking, along with the studio where I still make films for ranchers, truck dealers and the trades.

Now, and the snacks

What's on the desk this week.

Week of September 28, 2026. The format is borrowed from Derek Sivers's "now page" idea: what's really getting my hours, updated as it changes.

  • Writing
    My first essay, on AI and prayer, goes up Thursday as an X Article and here on the site.
  • Moving
    My video work is moving from So Long Saturn to my own name, and this site is getting rebuilt to hold all of it.
  • Cutting
    Version five of a film for a Peterbilt dealer in California went back to them Monday. It's sitting in a folder marked HOLD until they post it, which is correct and also like grilling a great steak and being told to eat it Thursday.
  • Editing
    Rancher reviews and podcast episodes for Riomax, and shorts and ads for TigerTough, the seat-cover company I made the BACKBONE series with.
  • Reading
    Dante's Inferno, slowly, and a little Aquinas.

The studio

I still make films for people who build things.

Cinematic brand films, documentary series and YouTube channels for ranching, trucking, dealers and the trades, made by a person with twenty years of craft and a small army of AI tools doing the tedious parts. Formerly So Long Saturn.
