Screenwriting and Directing
Initially as a hobby, Jordan Lane Gilmore performed on the stage and for some local television during high school and university. Shortly thereafter he began dabbling in screenwriting. Only in recent years, and with the help of recent partners has he been fortunate enough to produce content and develop short film and visual narratives that he is very passionate about. Storytelling has been core to what he does naturally, and the simple combo of photography and music is the preferred medium.

Much of Jordan Lane Gilmore's work in production historically has been focused on documentary oriented film that highlights global environmental and energy issues. One of the first most notable was a project with Alexandra Cousteau and more on this can be found in the project portfolio area entitled: Delta

The Prodigal Studio Journal is a recent project launch focused on films of personal interest and overlap with the studio's work. Whether it be media theory, techniques of exceptionally talented directors & actors, or even new technology developments in the industry, Prodigal hopes to engage people in a forum about culturally significant and profoundly meaningful, often spiritual, content in film.
Music videos are a favourite Prodigal Studios tool in delivering complex narratives. The combination of two mediums proves useful for such rich content. And the condensed content, such as this, cut down to the 15 sec Instagram post limitation demonstrated just how much of a narrative could be delivered in so little time.
This is a reflection of consumption habits and parallels the rhythm and duration of film production for television advertising. At Prodigal, we understand that something as short as 15 seconds, even 6 seconds (RIP Viners) can be an high quality medium of media messaging. In this particularly case, highlights from a music video were used to drive people to click through the whole video itself. It is a teaser.
Prodigal often works with non-profit organizations to development visual narratives that speak directly to their audience. Priority is given to environmental issues and faith based groups.
This short was originally created for Aletheia Church Boston's sermon series on the book of John, "That You May Believe". Jordan Lane Gilmore was the Director and partners with Matt Lowe, the Director of Photography, on similar projects.
