Jesse Tarnoff

Heyooooo.  Here's some info about me.

My Background: I made numerous films growing up. I shot on video mostly, but also on 8mm and 16mm. My first big film was The Third Stage, a film set in WWII that ran for 35 minutes. The experience from that enabled me to move on to my next film, The Age of the Ruash, a full length feature set in the fantasy world of Ot. This film was by far the biggest production I have ever worked on, and my pride in the accomplishment is still unmatched by anything else I have done.

I went on to Chapman University where I majored in film production with an emphasis in cinematography. I enjoyed many fun projects working in the gold room with brilliant professors and other starving students. I then took a job at Metmedia Video and worked there for 2.5 years shooting and editing video. I will always have fond memories of working there and continue to have the utmost respect for my team there.

My Critical Focus: I currently work for LaunchSquad, a PR Firm in the wonderful city of San Francisco. I develop, shoot, and edit web video content for LaunchSquad's clients. On the side I also run a wedding film company called Sandbox Love.  Giving couples beautiful films that they will cherish forever is far too rewarding to exclude from my life.  My wedding related shoots are definitely my favorites.

My Foreground: The future is always a mystery. I thought I had it figured out when suddenly I was offered a new job. The good thing is that the twists and turns of life don't matter as long as you know where you're going. I have goals and I have values, and as long as I remain dedicated to those, I could never be unhappy.

That's all about me, I want to hear about you. Toss me an email: jessetarnoff@gmail.com.

Cheers.
