About

Jason Lester is an LA-based filmmaker and photographer who conjures up colorful worlds that fuse an aesthetics of nostalgia and memory with a distinctly cinematic sensibility. Equally inspired by the kitsch and the classical, Jason’s work plays with artifice and tactility to bring to life romantic visions full of sweeping emotions and images. Jason’s love of film was ignited from a young age. Raised in a family of filmmakers in the San Fernando Valley, he grew up around the production circus, and like many circus children before when he grew up he decided to join it.

He has directed over 150 music videos for some of today’s most exciting artists.  His commercial work includes Adidas’ Z.N.E. campaign starring Jenna Ortega and the 17th Anniversary Film for IndiGo Airlines. 

In 2018, Jason’s first narrative feature as writer/director, High Resolution, was released on Showtime and internationally via 20th Century Fox. The film, an adaptation of Tao Lin’s cult novel ‘Taipei’, starred Ellie Bamber, Justin Chon, Hannah Marks, and Miles Robbins. Jason is currently in post-production on his second feature Replay, starring Blu Hunt, Peter Vack, Morgan Krantz, and Sara Klimoska.

He is also the co-chair of the organization We Direct Music Videos, and he runs the semi-regular music video screening event The Directors Series at Brain Dead Studio. 

He holds a BFA with Honors in Film Production from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.
