Director + Cinematographer + sUAS Pilot
Jason Augustine is a director and cinematographer with a global perspective and a cinematic approach to storytelling. Equally at home shooting women’s fashion campaigns from the sun-drenched coastlines of Tulum to the fast-paced streets of New York City, exploring remote wilderness, or working on the world’s most prestigious sporting stages, Jason brings a rare combination of visual versatility, technical precision, and an instinct for capturing authentic moments. His work spans fashion, outdoor adventure, sport, and lifestyle, taking him from fly fishing in Utah’s Provo River and documenting elite golfers in Scotland to following professional surfers along Oahu’s North Shore, capturing expansive aerial landscapes across Europe, and working in the unforgiving backcountry of Idaho in the dead of winter. Whether collaborating with fashion talent, navigating challenging field conditions, or immersing himself in the lives and cultures of his subjects, Jason brings an adaptable approach to every production, grounded in a strong visual point of view.
With experience directing and shooting campaigns around the world, Jason has collaborated with an extensive roster of global brands, including Carhartt WIP, The Elder Statesman, Therabody, G/FORE, Quiksilver, Milani Cosmetics, Xtratuf, Monster Energy, AT&T, Jameson Whiskey, and True Religion, among many others. His work across outdoor adventure, sport, fashion, wellness, and lifestyle allows him to move seamlessly between worlds, from art-directed fashion campaigns and brand films to character-driven storytelling, capturing the people, details, and moments that bring each project to life.
Jason’s experience also extends to working with a diverse range of celebrated athletes, entertainers, musicians, and cultural figures, including Tony Hawk, Luke Wilson, Machine Gun Kelly, Ziggy Marley, and Adriene Mishler. His work also reaches into the culinary world, where he has filmed celebrity chefs and respected figures in the culinary industry, capturing the craft, personality, and creative vision behind their work. Comfortable on large-scale productions and in unpredictable field environments alike, Jason brings a steady presence, collaborative sensibility, and a director’s eye to complex shoots and dynamic subjects.
A graduate of the University of California, Santa Barbara, Jason holds a Bachelor of Arts in Communication, with an academic focus on film and media studies, communication, and photography. He is also an FAA-certified Part 107 remote pilot, adding aerial cinematography to his broader production capabilities.
Born in California, Jason comes from a family shaped by both the immigrant experience and generations of life in Los Angeles. With a mother who immigrated to the United States and a father raised in working-class, 1950s Los Angeles, Jason’s background informs his appreciation for authentic characters, diverse perspectives, and the stories that connect people and place.
With a career shaped by diverse environments, compelling personalities, and stories that unfold far beyond the studio, Jason brings the visual instincts, field experience, and creative adaptability to a wide range of productions, from premium commercial campaigns to narrative and documentary filmmaking.
