Jono Schaferkotter’s Summary
With my roots in traditional painting and sculpture, I leapt into the fields of motion graphics and film making. Striving to blur the borders between mediums, I use techniques such as long-exposure light drawing and low budget set construction to get my artistic message across. My work history shows a wide range of leadership and mentoring experience. Each one of those unique areas has provided me with a better understanding of how to teach, guide and inspire the staff I am working with to create the best final product possible. Whether I'm directing videos, teaching hip-hop, pitching ideas to clients or working with independent musicians, the weight is on me and my crew to provide clear direction and inspiration to create a product that makes us all proud.
I'm currently working on ...
• another feature film
• 30 sec commercial spots
• an independent album
• music videos

Director
Before North
(Motion Pictures and Film industry)
January 2005 — May 2005 (5 months)
Director and Editor of independent feature flim "The Ballad of Jacob Wonder and Wesley Precious".
An existential Western that follows our heroes Jacob Wonder and Wesley Precious as they struggle to define their ambivalent dynamic whilst saving the world from fate and destruction. Our two heroes find themselves on a road trip from which they no not where they're going or how they will get there. Along the way they encounter numerous unique individuals that seems to posses magical characteristics and subtly remind Jacob and Wesley of their eventual destination. The story dances on the edge of surrealism as it destroys and then reinvents the cinematic image. -

December 2003 — April 2004 (5 months)
Director and Editor of independent feature flim "ONE : A Story of Six".
A troubled college student stumbles upon a fallen dollar bill and consequently leads the way through an intricate story of devotion, injury and the struggle that comes with living. One is an elaborate tale that follows a dollar bill through six individuals dealing with their independence and exploring the importance of their relationships with each other. An experiment in storytelling that resembles a narrative documentary and uniquely walks backwards along the border between cinematic brilliance and independent bullshit.
