About
Video producer and award-winning filmmaker Jonathan Rosenberry specializes in visual storytelling and impact filmmaking.
Across fifteen years of professional video production, he has worked on documentaries, short films, social-media content, commercials, and corporate videos — with deep experience in the non-profit space.
As primary cinematographer for the feature film Humans and Other Animals, Jonathan traveled across Europe, Africa, and the U.S. filming interviews with figures such as Jane Goodall and Peter Singer, and captured wildlife footage of chimpanzees and elephants in Kenya and Uganda. He has also shot for Oscar-winning filmmaker Louie Psihoyos.
Beyond film, he co-founded and patented the original 360° photo booth, OrcaVue, used by brands including Netflix, Fox Sports, the NHL, and HBO. His nature and wildlife photography has been featured on the covers of several print magazines.
