Hi there! My name is Jonathan Kray. So nice to meet you!

For over 25 years I’ve been writing and directing international commercials, films, game cinematics, music videos and documentaries.

As an avid gamer and big interactive media ethousiast, my dream came true to be asked by Guerrilla Games to be their cinematics director. I worked on acclaimed Playstation titles like “Killzone 2”, “Horizon Zero Dawn” and “The Frozen Wilds DLC”. It taught me a lot about Hollywood level pre-visuzalitation, editing and directing talent for full- performance motion capture similar to creating the Avatar films.

This gave me enough confidence to direct my first feature film Lost in Laos with co- director Vincent Lodder. A small and intimate indie film shot on the go in Asia over an eight week period.

After completing Lost in Laos, and feeling I was able to capture these intimate and real stories on film, I embarked on my first feature length documentary. This was a very personal and passion driven project about people, like myself, that were on the journey of self-discovery. It was called “Rude Awakening” and we completed this documentary at the end of 2023. Rude Awakening will debut on major film festivals by the end of 2024.

Currently, I’m producing and directing my first international feature film which will be a big 80-ties inspired adventure movie for kids.

When I’m not working on big film productions, I still love helping companies translate their meaningful stories into effective commercials or short films.

Usually, I work with the same team of trusted professionals, most of which have become dear friends. The reason others see us as such a fun and effective crew is because all of us still share a deep love and a childlike awe for making beautiful films and telling meaningful stories.
