A little over a year ago, We Were was officially greenlit. What began as a small passion project idea during a walk in the fall of 2023 became so much more by the following summer. A project like this reminds me why I chose to pursue film in the first place—to tell stories that are both personal and meaningful to me, and to create them alongside my friends. Somehow (and I still don’t even know how we pulled it off), we managed to shoot over 35 scenes across five chaotic days, enduring some of the wildest production hurdles I’ve ever experienced—including raccoons having seizures, literal historic flooding, pepper spray, a chemical safety quarantine from the fire department, and a whole lot of location changes. I’m so immensely grateful to everyone who believed in this project, said yes to making art, and helped bring it to life. I’m incredibly proud of what we were able to achieve. It’s been a journey getting here, and I’m beyond excited to finally share We Were. The full film link can be found in my bio. Condensed credits below, full credits on Vimeo.

No words to express how crazy it is to see that the video I directed for @tinashenow’s Nasty was just nominated for a VMA in the “Best Trending Video” Category. Thank you so so much to @tinashenow, @francfernandez, @simonnegabrielle, @jojogomezxo, @maleeka.moss and the rest of the Tinashe team for bringing me on and letting me be a part of this moment. Thank you to @galileomondol, @myfriendlopes, @bt.studios, @larkcreative, @cheyennecody for all of the support in bringing this project to life. So many people to thank, full credits on YouTube. by @jonahaber

Thrilled to finally be able to share the video I directed for @tatemcrae’s performance of Slower on @jimmykimmel. Back in 2017 Tate released a song called One Day. My goal was to pay homage to that little video that catapulted Tate to the icon she is today. Little did I know how much work and the sheer number of hours that would be required to bring that vision to life and man oh man am I ever proud of the results and the amazing team that accomplished them. This was the most ambitious project I’ve conceptualized to date and I’m so grateful to the people that made it happen. It’s still really surreal seeing this concept go from a little foamcore model I made in my basement to the stills you see here. From constructing massive arches (@hopelittle) to building, designing, and rigging (@congobluekid) a set with over 80 lighting fixtures, a lot of things had to line up for this to work out. Sebastien, Sahil, Dennis, Gideon, Hope, Sabrina, Michelle, Tate and everyone else who stood behind this project through it all, thank you. link in bio STARRING @tatemcrae CHOREO @michelleldawley DIRECTOR @jonahaber PROD CO @filmboldly EP @sebastiengalina PRODUCER @sahilmirch_ PM @kris.a.wong PROD ASSIST. @asconza 1st AD @lanamaclin DOP @dennisgrishnin RONIN OP @scottiewat 1st AC @andrewgerhold 2nd AC @avigallevona DP TRAINEE @alexxcrumb PD @hopelittle ART ASSIST. @kikzilla CARPENTER Ian Stout BUILDER Warren Beliveau, Stefan Coward LIGHTING DESIGNER / GAFFER / LX BOARD OP @congobluekid CONGO BLUE PM / SFX OP Lisa Quail CONGO BLUE BTS @stanimj BTS @austincbanks @gerardxjoseph HAIR / MUA @annanenoiu STYLIST @zeinaesmail L2/SYSTEMS TECH @gordonhuxter LX TECH @sthom_sound @tomb_s HEAD RIGGER @silverbackrigging GROUND RIGGER Jason Veronneau KEY GRIP @nickytheglasses GRIP @ryan.dioso @haydens.photos STAGEHAND @_jumpman95 @montylangford AUDIO OP/PLAYBACK @jeremiee2 VTR @mattadee PA @suresoundsgreat @jephchoo TRUCKING PA @aapperley COVID SAFETY @meghanhoople @roxymares RANGER STUDIOS @ratcliffe09 EDITOR @calumj EDITORIAL @outsidereditorial @kayanch01 COLOUR @sgllng VFX Ryan Zum Mallen VP of VCP for RCA @videosabrina VIDEO COORD.

If you’ve gone to any @tiff_net screenings this year you may have seen @veronika_iscool @kylefornow and @freshprinceofstittsville grace your theatre screens for this year’s volunteer bumper. Truly a bucket list project to get to direct!! Enormous thanks to Mikayla and the @cineplexmovies team for saying yes to every borderline impossible ask I made in pre-pro for this one, as well as to Veronika, Kyle, and their mgmt teams for saying yes and celebrating Canadian storytelling. (And cannot forget @emilystranges for making the connection in the first place!) And of course, huge thank you to all the TIFF Volunteers for making this festival possible year after year. I’ve been religiously attending TIFF since the age of 16 and it has played a huge part in my decision to pursue this career in the first place, what a full circle moment.

An exciting one came out today for Netflix, “See U In Hell” by @paparoach ft. @hanumankind! As a huge fan of DMC’s first season, it was really such a privilege being tapped to direct the music video for the second season’s title original song. The focus here was to create a video that was authentic to the world of the anime while still feeling true to the amazing performances of Papa Roach and HMK. We really threw everything at this: projection mapping, pyro, drone spotlights, and huge CG world building. Thank you to the @bt.studios team for producing this crazy project, to both artists for making a grueling overnight rooftop shoot work and keeping the energy in every take (extra shout out to HMK and Ashish for coming all the way from India!!), to Team Netflix for trusting us to pull this creative off and being such amazing collaborators throughout the process, and to @bootleguniverse for creating such a visceral, high-octane animation experience and world in DMC S2, it was a joy getting to adapt your work into a live action/music video world!

I’m so stoked to share the Space Potatoes campaign I directed for @wendys! It’s been a career long dream to work on a project fully reliant on miniatures and a primarily practical approach and I’m so grateful to the Wendy’s and McCann team for going along with this idea and supporting it! Truly was a labour of love. This was the result of a lot of effort and passion from a very small but dedicated team. Huge thanks to DP @jonglendon, PD @diallakawar, Miniature Artist @justinpoulsenvisuals, VFX team led by @vitaliyhavrylyuk, and of course, EP and Producer @travwood at OMC Productions. Not only did he produce this thing, but this was the first of many Travis acting cameos in our projects together. Can’t imagine a better astronaut tbh Huge shout out to @spstudioscanada as well, wouldn’t have been possible without them! This project required so much trust from Travis and the creative team at McCann and I am endlessly indebted to him for his push to get this concept approved. Agency Team: SVP Production Stef Fabich CD Bill Schaefer Copywriter @ethanmac Art Director Tina Peng Thank you all! by @jonahaber

Excited to share the latest broadcast campaign I directed for ETFO. It’s so refreshing to be able to dive into a campaign with such an important message and shout out to all the unions out there fighting for the rights of their members. I’m incredibly grateful to the team at NOW Group for the opportunity. Thanks to Julian for seeing this project through with me through the endless hurdles and speed bumps. So stoked it’s now in the world.

@sudanarchives - DEAD Music Video This is my favourite song of 2025, and I still can’t believe we got to make a video for it. Huge thanks to Sudan and @lexilexicarr for trusting us with this project and being such incredible collaborators. This was truly a grassroots effort—from @carina.mak and me soldering laser diodes during prelight and building a laser box out of Amazon parts, to @quaidcdebaca debuting his 13-foot-tall Steadicam, to @savaterehoff pulling triple duty as our LM, PD, and lighting board op. There were so many moments when we weren’t sure it would come together, and yet, here we are. Massive gratitude to @6degreesfilms, @carina.mak, and @griffindistefano for saying yes to what felt like an impossible ask and rolling with every curveball in the days and weeks leading up to the shoot. Nick and Bianca made magic happen in the edit and Thanks to the lad @adammadrzyk for the commitment and beautiful cine—and of course, to @cheyennecody and @larkcreative for making it all happen once again!
