Jack O'Meara

I didn't start in a film school classroom. I started on a cracked iPod, making trailers and short films on iMovie with my friends. The tools were terrible, but the passion was real.

That headspace is still where I operate. While my workflow has upgraded to professional standards, I try to keep that same energy of experimentation. I'm not interested in doing things the 'traditional' way just for the sake of it. I'm interested in what's next.

I don't spend time romanticising 1970s cinema. I'm focused on the future of the medium—how software is evolving, how AI is changing the workflow, and how to use those new tools to make something that wasn't possible a year ago.
