Jonathan Banach

Jonathan Banach is pursuing his MFA in Film and Television Production at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. In May of 2019, he graduated from Wisconsin Lutheran College in Milwaukee, WI with a Bachelors in Digital Cinema and Media. His goal for every project is to create a human story that provokes, inspires, and connects. He finds fascination with stories that place an emphasis on the intersection between family, society, and the chaotic, confusing nature of mental illness. His short films have been nominated by the Milwaukee Short Film Festival (Wisconsin Spotlight), Los Angeles CineFest, Burbank International Film Festival (Best Short Film Score), and most recently, won Best Student Film at the Salty Earth Pictures Film Festival for the upcoming film "Darkest Red" (2019). Able to do it all, his talents in the field of filmmaking are centered around directing and cinematography.
