Director Biography - John Brooks

Born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana. With over 10 years of photography and cinematography experience, I fell in love with capturing exquisite pictures and settings. I’d like to share my skills with those interested in the craft. Be it photo shoot, short films, commercials, or editing: I’d like to work with you.

I am now a Film/TV major at Savannah College of Art and Design based in Georgia, USA. To top it off, I’m a Dean’s List sophomore, so I know a long yet worth-while college career awaits for me.

My films have been selected into - and have even won - many festivals throughout 2024 such as: Top Shorts, Texas Short Film Festival, New York Tri-State Film Festival, Mainstreet at the Esquire, and much, much more.
