Biography

Jason Bergh is an Emmy Award® winning producer, director and cinematographer. He began his creative arts journey documenting NYC street culture in the early 2000s, which led him down a raw and beautifully unpolished path. His work with musicians, athletes, activists and artists has profoundly shaped his worldview. Whether for a documentary or advertising campaign, his goal remains the same-an ethos deeply influenced by his early experiences as a young filmmaker and the work of his father, Jeb Bergh, a war journalist and documentary DP.

In 2001, upon arriving in Los Angeles, Jason began working with Interscope Records, directing documentary content and live concerts for many of their top artists. His directorial debut film with them, "Life In A Day" (Jadakiss, Slim Thug, The Game, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Stat Quo & Nomb) was distributed and produced by Interscope Records and XXL Magazine. His next documentary, "Alekesam", featuring legendary jazz musician Hugh Masekela and his son Selema, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2012. Jason went on to produce the Emmy-winning 30 for 30: When The Garden Was Eden with Michael Rapaport for ESPN as well as Think Normal (Nikki Reed) & "Eternal Princess" (Katie Holmes & Nadia Comaneci). Jason produced, theatrically distributed, and managed the release of Street Dreams, a film centered on skateboarding and the vibrant culture found within. The film has since become a cult classic, amassing over 100 million global views. Over the course of his career, he has been involved in more than 20 films as an executive producer, director, creative producer, or cinematographer.

For the past seven years, Jason has worked closely with Jennifer Lopez, directing, shooting and producing two documentaries (Halftime and The Greatest Love Story Never Told) as well as directing her brand and advertising campaigns for Ralph Lauren, Coach, and Promise Fragrance. He helped launch her JLO Beauty brand, crafting their campaigns and supporting content.

Jason's recent advertising work includes campaigns for Netflix, Amazon, Lions Gate, Vogue, La Mer, Jaguar, Genesis Automotive, Leica, Xeomin, and TOTY Cosmetics. His fashion editorial films have featured JLo, Lenny Kravitz, Jessica Alba, Madison Bailey, Latto, Rufus Du Sol, Hailee Steinfeld, Rita Ora, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Sasha Calle, RZA, Bryan Cranston, Tracee Ellis Ross, Katseye, Pierce Brosnan, Christina Aguilera, and Tyga.

He has been commissioned for his reportage style documentation on 5 Theatrical Feature Films (Air, The Mother, Atlas, Shotgun Wedding, Marry Me).
