All films start nowhere
My Name is Nicholas Jensen
Everyone understands a film in their own way, I understand films by considering how they affect the people around me.
​
Growing up close to Hollywood was my introduction to stories. After graduating high school, I moved to Atlanta to get my film degree and pursue set work. This broad perspective on filmmaking has allowed me to understand the industry on a deeper level and stay open-minded to new perspectives.
​
The more I watch, the more I realize I love every film, even the ones I’ll never see. Read more below about my approach to filmmaking.
"Movies don't make themselves"
-Yes they do.
The three feature films I’ve DP’d, the two feature films I’ve directed, the 20+ short films I’ve made, the 4,000 films I’ve watched, and the countless films I’ve crewed on weren’t me. It's all possible because of the stories' desire to be heard.
​
This belief guides me that no matter how much I hone my craft, it’s not my credit. The credit goes to those who came before me; they carried the torch, and my story is a natural progression to what they were able to say.
​
Not to discredit myself or the millions of people in the industry. Blood, sweat, and tears go into every good story, but we all serve a common goal: to make people think about the world around them differently.
