My Clients

I’ve shot feature and short films, commercials, and documentaries for major brands, studios, and networks in over 35 countries. My work has been seen on every network, and at Sundance, Slamdance, and South by Southwest. 

“As a director, Jason Tomaric brings three important things to the table… creativity, organization, and value.

His shoot days run like clockwork, and when Jason works within a budget, that doesn’t mean cutting back on quality…he finds a way to bring the most to a project for the money.”

Published Author

8 internationally-distributed books

Used in film schools around the world, my textbooks cover every aspect of the filmmaking process – helping students learn the process through real-world knowledge and experience.

American Cinematographer magazine says, “There are no wasted words in Tomaric’s tome, which concisely summarizes each facet of the director’s craft. It’s difficult to think of a step  in the process that Tomaric fails to address.”
