Hi, I’m John Humphreys.
A filmmaker based in Los Angeles who handles content from every angle, producing, directing, and editing.
I've spent 6+ years working across production, from planning a shoot to directing on set to cutting the final edit. I created Sons of Thunder Productions as my own production hub, a way to self-fund the films I want to make instead of waiting on someone else's approval. I've made two features through it so far. This isn't just a company that pays the bills, it's what makes the creative work possible, for me and for the people I collaborate with.
Now I bring that same knowledge and storytelling to brands: producing, directing, and editing content that lands well and doesn't feel like an ad.
My Approach
I value effective storytelling through clear shooting methodology. That means I create systems around filming conditions to output exactly what you are looking for. For example, if long term content is the goal, I’ll create a system to film 20 videos a day. Or if event coverage is your goal, I’ll do everything I can to capture every moment and every angle as efficiently as possible. My approach will depend on your needs and I love challenging assignments.
