Jordyn is an award-winning filmmaker known for creating powerful, globally resonant films. Hailing from the Rocky Mountains of Santa Fe, Jordyn's upbringing ignited her deep love for the outdoors. Armed with a BFA in documentary filmmaking from Chapman University, she has produced work internationally (Sri Lanka, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Scotland, France, El Salvador, Switzerland, Italy, Canada, and Canada to name a few). Amplifying voices that need to be heard, she explores stories of womanhood, identity, and the human spirit.
Her acclaimed film, We Are Like Waves (2022), tells the story of one of the first female surfers in Sri Lanka. The film achieved distribution by The Los Angeles Times, received awards at numerous festivals, and propelled Jordyn to be recognized as an Oscar-Qualifying director.
Jordyn works primarily as a director and producer in documentary filmmaking, branded content, and commercials. She isn't afraid to get her hands on a camera either - whether submerged in pumping surf or trekking through remote locations with a backpack filled with camera gear and electrolytes. She's directed and produced work for brands like Patagonia, Salomon, The North Face, and Specialized.
