CREATING PERSPECTIVE

J Cole Lansden Films is creating perspective by making creative filmmaking and storytelling methods available to anyone.

"In narrative filmmaking of any genre, the stories I write reflect normal life by showing them BIGGER or by exaggerating life, taking a real situation or story and showing it in its most extreme circumstances and most compelling moments."

J Cole Lansden Bio

J Cole Lansden is an Arkansas filmmaker focused on Environmental Justice making advanced filmmaking and storytelling methods available to those who do not have access. He has worked with documentary industry leaders like the Renaud Brothers and on projects like ESPN’s “Our Time,” HBO’s “Meth Storm” and Vice’s “Last Chance High.” Now, bringing home the skills he’s learned there to apply to projects of his own, the subject matter he covers provides important regional context and perspective on broader issues. Lansden elevates Southern voices to tell compelling stories that uplift neglected communities in the South and his community in Arkansas. 

"When I’m not telling stories of my own, I fall naturally into the position of Producing because I enjoy making projects possible for other artists, businesses, and storytellers."

By taking knowledge gained from years of experience working with industry leaders to create compelling content for entertainment and applying it to freelance videography as a business, J Cole Lansden Films LLC can elevate your work to its highest level.
