My Approach to Filmmaking

Cinema can translate Ideas

I have been an active filmmaker since 1995 when I made my first film at the North Carolina School of the Arts during its Filmmaking Summer Immersion Program. After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro’s Broadcasting and Cinema Masters Program I continued to make movies while teaching film at the university level.

I owe my visual sense to the Italian and Flemish painters of the Renaissance for their strong compositions and formalist approach to capturing nature. I love the German Expressionists and Impressionists of the Modern era for the emotional qualities of the moving, feeling form. From the North American painters, Howard Pyle and N. C. Wyeth have an incredible style that I admire greatly from their graphic depictions of great stories from early American literature.

I have over 25 years of experience as a practicing, professional and award-winning filmmaker. I am a director/editor/DP/producer for hire under the sole proprietorship of Jesse Knight Films that I have maintained since 2009. I am wholeheartedly dedicated to filmmaking and the education of others. All aspects of the craft fascinate me and drive me to master them further. It is my sincere hope that I can instill this feeling in others, from the concept of the idea all the way through to distribution and beyond. I look forward to learning more over the years and hope to inspire others to follow a career path in creating worlds.
