Jason Mannings is a British Columbian director, cinematographer, and artist. Rejecting a common dichotomy, he is tuned into nature and culture; the bridging of which informs his work. He studied literature, journalism, and creative writing, but learned far more under temperate rainforest canopies and on snowy alpine peaks. His first award-winning feature sports film, Stripped (2006), won ‘Best New Film Producer’ at the Bike Magazine Film Awards. In 2017, he won an Emmy Award for ‘Outstanding Camera Work’ for his cinematography on an episode of Image Quest (2016): it featured a documentary look at Sweetgrass Productions, and was broadcast on OutsideTV. Today, his focus is on directing creative-documentaries, branded-content, and experimental-films. Presently, his first narrative film, Ashli Leigh, has wrapped production and is slated for a 2021 release. When he’s not immersed in film, he’s either on a bike in the woods, on a splitboard in the snow, shrouded in music in a warehouse, or feeding alleyway cats — usually with an analog camera in tow.
