“You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand.”
― Woodrow Wilson
JORDYN ROMERO - DOCUMENTARY AND COMMERCIAL DIRECTOR
I am an award-winning documentary and commercial director who loves to tell brand-defining stories that entertain, inspire, and deeply connect with people -- making the world a bit better along the way. Whether in remote outdoor locations or high-pressure settings, my hands-on approach and adaptability create sets where people are excited to show up and make work that gets remembered. My work is defined by stories of breaking boundaries and resilience. I have directed work internationally for brands like Patagonia, Toyota, Oakley, and Specialized.
My acclaimed film, We Are Like Waves (2022), tells the story of one of the first female surfers in Sri Lanka. The film achieved distribution by The Los Angeles Times, received awards at numerous festivals, and qualified for the 95th Academy Awards. My other documentaries, Of the Sea (2019), Ability (2021), and Beyond Normal (2024) have taken home numerous Best Director and Best Film awards at festivals worldwide with distribution on Amazon Prime, The Surfer's Network, NowThis, and Outside TV.
I am not afraid to get my hands on a camera either - whether submerged in pumping surf or trekking through remote locations with a backpack filled with camera gear, beacon, and electrolytes.
