Oh hi there,
We’re Gareth Jackson and Mark Karinja. We’re directors as well as DoP’s and we’ve been working together for a little over 15 years. As kids, we each got cameras into our hands shooting skate and surf videos - which has influenced our style ever since.
We met while working on film crews in NYC and helped each other to shoot a boat load of student films, docs, and music videos (while having the best time doing it). These days, not too much has changed… We still shoot most of our work and we always look to bring a unique perspective and aesthetic to all of our films (and we still have the best time doing it).
Jackson lives in Brooklyn and Karinja lives in New Orleans. Both great cities.
Anyway, we’re super grateful for the amazing people we’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with throughout the years and we pride ourselves in going above and beyond for the team. The + in our name is for the talented crew members and awesome people we get to collaborate with. It's always been everyone it takes to make a film + us.
Thanks for checking us out,
