Jonah Lorsung is a filmmaker, writer, and photographer born in the Midwest. His work spans a plethora of topics -- love, loss, and the human spirit. He has a propensity for kindness and joy and hopes his work reciprocates that feeling.
Even in his commercial work he gravitates towards people and their stories first, believing that a good story triumphs gimmicks or virality. Despite his thoughts on social media, he enjoys the challenge of the ultra short-form and hyper attention span of today's audience, producing hundreds of videos with notable content creators such as Sara Dietschy, Kraig Adams, and Elena Taber.
His love for music and supporting musicians whose work he admires is apparent, spending nearly 2 years crafting "Even In The Tremor". A documentary about musician, Lady Lamb, who found herself lost in the ether between touring for her livelihood and a global shutdown. The film was nominated for Best Documentary at the 2021 Oregon Film Festival.
Now, based in the Pacific Northwest and New York, Jonah continues his work as a writer, director, and filmmaker of anything that piques his interest. Usually love, good light, and the small moments that make life worth living.
