About / Jonny Bamberg
A filmmaker shaped
by
story.
Commercial filmmaker, editor, and storyteller. Still refining the craft, still chasing the feeling that made movies exciting in the first place.
I’m Jonny Bamberg, commercial filmmaker, editor, and storyteller.
My love for cinema started when I was a kid, watching the greats: Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan. Okay, maybe not the greatest cinema in history, but for pure, unadulterated excitement? Unmatched.
That excitement made me want to make films. What followed was a series of terrible “movies” made in my front yard, usually starring one actor. Sometimes three, when I could recruit my brothers.
I graduated from Liberty University in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Cinematic Arts. I wish I could say the terrible films ended there, but I’m afraid a few made it into the early part of my professional career, too.
At my first job out of college, making videos for a car dealership, I learned that a good film isn’t just about how it looks. It’s about what it helps people understand and how it makes them feel. The camera work and the edit matter, but they need to serve something. Once I started thinking that way, the work got better.
Eight years and hundreds of projects later, I’ve refined my craft, but I’m far from finished. Your project won’t be something I run through a template and send out the door. I give each one the time, care, and attention it deserves.
I’m based in Marietta, Ohio, working throughout the Mid-Ohio Valley and surrounding areas.
Oh, and a bit about me? I married the love of my life in 2017. We’re now outnumbered by kids two to one.
In all that I do, all glory belongs to Christ.
1 Corinthians 10:31
Experience behind
the craft.
I’ve worked on both sides of the brief: making the films and helping plan the marketing behind them. That experience shapes how I approach the work, from the first conversation to the final export.
