About

Published by James Suttles under Uncategorized on May 20, 2008

From award winning commercials & industrials to documentaries & feature films, I strive to always explore & contribute to the art of story telling through motion pictures.

My story is not unlike many artists in this field, as I discovered a love of filmmaking at an early age. Spending all of my free time in the forest & fields surrounding my childhood home in North Carolina, making short films based on stories such as Richard Connell’s “The Most Dangerous Game” and W. W. Jacobs’ “The Monkey’s Paw”, I never realized then, how influential those early years would become.

In 2001, I co-founded Eljapa Media Group, Inc., a production company that focused primarily on various media campaigns for Tourism and Economic Development of government and private organizations. Still continuing to pursue more creatively challenging projects in my “spare” time as a freelancer, I decided in 2005 to sell off my share of the company and go at it as a “independent” once again.

Since that point, I have yet to look back. I just wrapped post production on the feature film, “Red Dirt Rising” (as Producer, Director, DP and Editor) and completed production on the feature film”One Good Man” as Director of Photography.  Currently, I am editing “One Good Man” and developing my next project, an untitled feature film that documents the life of an up and coming musician in the world of Nashville .

In closing, the one thing that I personally enjoy the most about this business is the relationships and challenges of working so closely in such a collaborative process. Please, feel free to give me a call or email if you have any questions that I could assistance with.
