About Author

RJ is a commercial and documentary director based out of the mountains of British Columbia. His timely passion with both art and adventure set roots for what RJ continues to pursue to this day and crafted his raw emotive style that sets him apart. At the early age of 17, RJ co-founded a production company, Inmist, where he has continued to serve as a director since that time. His work with Inmist had brought him opportunities to direct for some of the world’s largest brands such as Land Rover, GMC, Canon, and more.

Aside from his commercial work RJ has continued to pursue documentary projects telling both stories around the world and back home to the mountains of British Columbia to document the people closest to him. RJ believes that, as an artist, there is a responsibility to document truthfully, leaving something behind. Leaving the world with experience, wisdom, and inspiration. Daily, RJ continues to live by the words “content but not satisfied” letting that mantra guide his work, play, and relationships.
