In May 2021, we welcomed Award-Winning Director/DP Jordan Haro as part of The 20/20 Series, created by NYFA’s Creative Director of Filmmaking and Cinematography, Liz Hinlein.

Haro is known for his work on TV shows like Snowfall and Archer, as well as feature-length films including Machete (2010), The Wolverine (2013), and Balloon (2011). His long-spanning career titles include photographer, writer, editor, and keen observer. The Austin, TX-native filmmaker bounced around the globe telling stories for massive clients including National Geographic, Atlantic Records, TLC, and Sony Pictures. Aside from always watching, learning, and growing, Jordan’s current goals and aspirations are squarely set in the world of narrative filmmaking.

Haro, originally from Austin, Texas was raised on breakfast tacos and barbecue. He has mainly worked as a director, although has many years of experience in producing, editing, and shooting movies of all shapes and sizes. Jordan runs a production company, Homecourt Pictures, that specializes in producing and editing directly to the network, behind-the-scenes marketing, and promo materials. As an independent filmmaker, Haro sees owning a camera as a positive investment. Not only is he always at the ready for when a story is breaking but it is a great tool for collaborating/bartering with fellow filmmakers. 

The 20/20 Series is a pop-up event that takes us into the homes, hubs, and workspaces of an array of dynamic creative visionaries to allow for relaxed, engaging conversations on craft, creation, and artistic vision. Each conversation with a creative visionary features 20 minutes of discussion with a moderator and a 20-minute Q&A from YOU, the audience.
