My film and television background, combined with several decades in the entertainment industry allows me to add various layers to their content while sharing my expertise from both sides of the camera to bring out the best in them, enabling the equipment to capture their most authentic self, which in turn helps them to engage with their potential clients.Â

SCREENPLAYS
More than two decades of screenwriting has taught me that the most important thing a story-teller or content-creator must do is to “elicit emotion”. It is only then that you can keep your audience engaged. This is a skill that I have developed and humbly share with my clients when storytelling is an essential part of the content they are creating.
DIRECTED & PRODUCED BY J.D MOOREA
Being able to combine all the essential elements of storytelling into one medium is a passion of mine. The entire process, from inception, development, and pre-production all the way through to the myriad of problem-solving throughout production and finally to the intricacies of post-production are always thrilling to meticulously work through and extremely satisfying when the final product comes to fruition.

VIDEOGRAPHY / PHOTOGRAPHY
Capturing a moment, whether it be a photo, or video is never about just pointing the camera and shooting. So much goes into the framing, staging and execution of each image or shot to make it something special. It’s the minor details that I painstakingly give my attention to while on a shoot that allow me to capture incredible moments for clients.
AWARDS
Accolades are not what anyone in this industry do it for, but to be reconised for your work means that you are doing something right, and hopefully making a difference in the lives of those you help, or who view your work.
EQUIPMENT
My equipment, while of the highest quality is also functionally streamlined to enable a swift process, from setting up and capture, all the way to post-production and delivery. This enables the shortest amount of time between inception and when the client gets the final product. The compact nature of my on-set equipment enables me to work alone to keep costs to a minimum for my clients, while the professional editing suite has the flexibility to handle all scales of production.
BEHIND THE SCENES (ON SET)
Having spent two decades as a professional singer in Broadway style musicals at sea, I never would have thought that anything could match the feeling of being on stage. That was until I found the love of being behind the scenes and being able to “play God” by creating an entirely new world, whether it be as a screenwriter of a $40 million feature film, or directing and producing award-winning films and seeing them come to life on screen.
MODELLING & PORTFOLIO PHOTOGRAPHY
Capturing images in over 400 destinations around the world has been a passion of mine for more than two decades. My next challenge is to bring the same level of quality to unique modelling and portfolio images for local content creators and brands.
