Here I am shooting a live event in Springfield, MA.

So who is this Jason guy, anyway?

I have a BA in journalism and an MFA in studio art from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. I really care about art and the power media has to shape how we see the world and each other. I also think making videos is just really really fun and I treat it more like an art than a job. When you work with me, you’re working with someone who cares about his craft. 

When I don’t have a camera in my hand, I am riding a bike around the backroads of Western Massachusetts, cooking from a giant Lebanese cookbook, or carrying my son around in the backyard while I water the garden.

Oh, by the way, my pal Erin Long took that photo of me. Thanks Erin!

Why Cottontail Media? 

Cottontail rabbits have always lived around me. I don’t know if this is because I am always looking for them, or if it is because they are following me. I noticed them when I lived in Montreal, I noticed them when I lived in Somerville, I noticed them when they used to eat from my garden in Worcester. Now I notice them here, at my home in Franklin County and I love them. Other than being my power animal, cottontail rabbits are nimble, resourceful, and fast on their feet—sort of like my video production style.
