JOHNNY SAINT OURS

WRITER · DIRECTOR · DoP · DESIGNER

I believe in human storytelling as if it were gospel—as important to our species as sonar is to bats, bio-electricity to sharks, night vision to cats.

I've spent 34 years aiming straight into the heart of a story, an image, or a design—and developing a particular distaste for the word impossible.

There's a reel on this site. There's a portfolio too.

What you won't see is what's behind the pictures: the impossible schedule, the impossible budget, the impossible location, the tool that didn't exist yet.

I've led crews large and small in more than 50 countries, worked for HBO, AMC, History, Amazon, Vice, ESPN and others, shot major commercial campaigns, written feature films, designed and fabricated things that didn't exist before, and earned two Emmys along the way.

Bring me the difficult thing.
