About me

I am an American born, Europe-based Filmmaker and recent graduate of the MA Filmmaking course of the London Film School. As a Writer/Director my lasted short film 'CODA' has screened in multiple Festivals internationally (Aubagne IFF in France, Sarasota FF in U.S.A. and we won the prize for Best Drama selected for the 2013 Screentest, The UK's National Student Film Festival.
Having worked across the Production process from development to delivery, I am able to work within—and communicate across—various departments towards the common goal of a unified production. I am equally comfortable working in a team or autonomously—in assistance, or leadership. Flexible, dependable and creative in problem solving, meeting deadlines and delivering results.
Referees:
"Jonathan was an outstanding student and produced and directed some of the best student films I saw in my 22 years on the staff of LFS. He will be a great asset to any organisation fortunate enough to employ him."
-Rodney Newton, London Film School


I highly recommend Jonathan Tomlin as a candidate for employment as a gaffer. I have known Jonathan since 2009 and he has worked as my gaffer a number of times, most recently on a studio shoot for a series of commercials in September 2011.
Jonathan is extremely hard working and competent. His enthusiasm and good humour go on undiminished throughout the day and help set an example to the rest of the crew. He is flexible and eager to do whatever it takes to get the job done well. His imagination and resourcefulness have been a great asset in the past, enabling us to achieve very good results with limited time and equipment.
Yours faithfully,
