Owner | Director

I started One Forty Films nearly ten years ago as a one-woman-band filmmaker. I was writing, shooting, editing, producing—doing whatever it took to bring stories to life. That hands-on start gave me a deep understanding of every part of the filmmaking process and shaped how I approach the work today. What began as a single camera and a lot of ambition has grown into a full production company, bringing together talented crews of directors, cinematographers, producers, and editors to create films at a much larger scale.

Entrepreneurship runs deep in my family. I come from a long line of people who built businesses from the ground up, so starting my own company always felt like the natural path. I grew up around people who weren’t afraid to take risks, figure things out as they went, and build something meaningful through hard work and persistence. That mindset has shaped how I’ve built One Forty Films from the beginning.

Today I’m the founder and director behind One Forty Films, where I collaborate with brands, agencies, and organizations to create cinematic campaigns, documentaries, and brand films. My work blends strong narrative concepts with elevated visuals, but what I care about most is the human side of storytelling—the moments of connection, humor, nostalgia, or emotion that pull people in. At the end of the day, I’m just chasing the same feeling that made me fall in love with storytelling in the first place: the kind of story that’s so good you forget about everything else for a while.

“She’s easygoing, creative, and hardworking…which results in beautiful work!”

“…what Jill has made is 10x better than anything I’ve seen before.”

I’m an online educator for photographers and hired Jill to film the biggest online course I’ve ever made (for adventure wedding photographers). This course was 19 film days, in 4 states, over 10 months. Many of these days were 12-16 hours long… starting before dark, staying out late after dark, hiking up a mountain and shooting in the rain. There are very few videographers who could have even handled the logistics in shooting in these environments, much less handling it with such positivity, encouraging energy, and high production quality. Jill is insanely talented and cares so much about the quality of what she’s producing and the immense effort she put into this course truly made it a level above anything I could have imagined. I’ve worked with other videographers before in the past to create courses and the quality of what Jill has made is 10x better than anything I’ve seen before.

You could go the cheap route or you could go the route of a big production company- but neither of them will put in the time and care and attention to detail that Jill does. Hire her!

“…a high quality video that captures the heart of my business in a way that I never could express with just website text.”

Having One Forty Films create a video about my private practice was a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend her to anyone. She was professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process, but what really sets Jill apart as a videographer is her fantastic eye for capturing the images to tell my business’ story. I’m blown away by how she was able to take the footage that we filmed in a few hours and create a high quality video that captures the heart of my business in a way that I never could express with just website text. I know the final product is going to be a powerful marketing tool on my business website!

“The whole time, Jill gave us constant support and feedback.”

We hired Jill for our course The Art of Adventure Weddings and Elopements.

To film this course, Jill and her team went with us to 4 different states, filmed 5 different shoots, and also filmed in-studio sessions.

We had to hike up the mountain, photographed at early hours as well as stayed out late. We dealt with weather no one could have expected.

The whole time, Jill gave us constant support and feedback. She didn’t have to but she did. She did it all because she cares.

You can hire someone to get the job done but you can never pay someone enough to care. And I can guarantee that you will get this from Jill and her team.

Jill, I am beyond grateful for the time we have together. This is not goodbye. I know who to call for my future courses. Thank you so much!
