JP Chaves

I’m a Hispanic American filmmaker who believes the most powerful stories are the ones that let you inside a character’s mind in ways no one else in the room can access.

I came to creative work the way a lot of us do — through a movie that made the world feel bigger. For me, it was Jurassic Park. I thought I wanted to be a paleontologist. Turns out what I really wanted was to make people feel what I felt entering that world.

As a director, DP, and writer, I bring a multi-hyphenate perspective to every project — from the script to the final grade. My work lives at the intersection of visual craft and actionable takeaways.
