Where Vision Meets Reality.

There’s something about growing up on the east coast — the way the streets hum with ambition, how every cracked sidewalk and passing face tells a story if you’re willing to see it.

For me, that perspective was never just background noise. It was a call.

I’m Jay Franklin, a curator of urban visions — a cinematographer who believes that every project is a chance to capture reality not just as it is, but as it feels.

From the earliest days, a camera wasn’t just a tool; it was a portal — a way to turn ordinary moments into something lasting, something cinematic.

My journey has taken me from the pulse of music videos and short films in the city, to the weight and history inside the New Jersey Assembly Majority Office, where I now craft video stories that move policy and people alike.

I’ve framed the energy of athletes chasing greatness. I’ve lit the ambitions of artists trying to be heard. I’ve captured the heartbeat of communities in every project, no matter how big or small.

I don’t just shoot videos.

I curate experiences.

Whether directing multi-cam interviews at PBS, leading creative strategy for political campaigns, or building independent documentaries from the ground up — my work blends the raw energy of the streets with the polish of cinematic storytelling.

Every frame is intentional. Every edit has a pulse. Every project is a chance to turn someone’s vision into a tangible reality.

Because perspective isn’t just about what you see — it’s about how you show the world what matters.

If you’re looking for content that doesn’t just play, but lives…

If you believe in telling stories that move people to feel something real…

Then maybe you’re not just looking for a cinematographer.

Maybe you’re looking for someone who curates visions into lasting realities.

Let’s create something unforgettable.
