Jake Ahles

My purpose in life is as a movie director and DP. To create an impact through movies and on the movie world.

Growing up with a camera in one hand and a fork in the other, I have been a photographer + filmmaker for over 15 year. After graduating from Pitzer college with a degree in Neuroscience and studying film making, I Co-Founded The Fare Trade where I traveled the country working with 300+ food brands and 50+ award-winning chefs and restaurants, creating scroll-stopping content and innovative marketing campaigns. From exploring the the Alaskan wilderness, the California Desert, snowboarding across the Canadian Rockies, documenting Africa and Australia, and being one of the few people on earth granted access to the Global Seed Vault, I've been fortunate to document many of our planet's most captivating environments. As an avid proponent of crop and biodiversity I am currently working on a docuseries showcasing the people and entities bringing about the future of our food industry + recently finished my first screenplay which will be produced this summer.

Having worked in the big studios - Lionsgate, Sony, Travel Channel - as well as boutique outposts, I've been fortunate to execute productions at every scale level. Today, as the founder of Attunement Studio, my passion is collaborating with hospitality brands to craft visual content that forges a strong connection with their audience. We have worked with brands such as Sonos, Google, Sunset Magazine, 1Hotel, and many more.
