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 freshman, so I know a long yet worth-while college career awaits for me.

Director Statement

Miniatures-in-motion, which is what I call it, is blatant old-school movie magic. It's been around since the very beginning of cinema, and frankly I don't think it ages. However, I still aim for a vintage look in my films much akin to 'Sharon and the Vege Plot' which makes the puppetry gimmick look all the more intentional. Some may find the film "homey", others may find it "unsettling". There's a sort of uncanny valley in vintage puppetry, and if my film falls within said valley, then I think I've done my job in capturing a bygone era of cinema.
