IBIS Consulting Group w/ Google
In his ongoing work with IBIS Consulting Group, Jon performs interactive theater as part of racial equity training at Google. An element of these sessions is fielding questions in character, once the scene has wrapped. It's a fun job and fairly cool to dive into the everyday life of a Googler! Organized by Emmy-award winning director and editor Teja Arboleda (along with many other driven, talented people at IBIS).
Smile
In June, Jon shot the independent short Smile directed by Ivana Strajin. This darkly funny story explores how so much can go wrong in a day when our insurance goes wrong. This film will be entering the festival circuit in the near future, but for now here's a sneak peek. For other info, feel free to visit the IMDB page here.
Crowd Pleaser
In the spring, Jon shot the horror short Crowd Pleaser. Directed by Lucia Tarro, it tells the story of a young social outcast who is looked down on by roommates who treat her like she doesn't exist. To make matters worse, a chilling demon in her bedroom keeps her awake while only further alienating her. That is, until they work together. Whole film available above!
Putting 2 and 2 Together
In 2021, Jon will be joining the ensemble cast of the popular comedy fiction podcast Putting 2 and 2 Together for their third season. This podcast explores the nuance and hilarity of modern relationships through a group of friends. Season 1 and Season 2 now streaming on all major podcast directories.
