Jordyn is an award-winning filmmaker challenging and changing the norm to make films that matter.

​

Hailing from the Rocky Mountains of Santa Fe, Jordyn's upbringing immersed her in the wonders of the wilderness, igniting her deep love for the outdoors. Armed with a BFA in documentary filmmaking from Chapman University, she embarked on a journey that has led her to produce work around the world. Her films are a testament to her unwavering commitment to crafting character-driven narratives that inspire, empower, and foster a sense of belonging for every viewer. With an unwavering belief in the transformative power of storytelling, Jordyn Romero continues to breathe life into her stories, amplifying voices that need to be heard and creating a cinematic tapestry that resonates with audiences worldwide.

 

In her acclaimed film, We Are Like Waves, Jordyn tells the story of one of the first female surfers in Sri Lanka. The film's distribution with The LA Times Short Docs, full theatrical run, qualification for the 95th Academy Awards, and multiple festival awards demonstrate the impact of her storytelling prowess.

 

Jordyn works primarily as a director and producer in documentary filmmaking, branded content, and commercials. She isn't afraid to get her hands on a camera either - whether submerged in pumping surf or trekking through remote locations with a backpack filled with camera gear and electrolytes.

 

Her current projects include producing a feature film about the remarkable first helium hot air balloon crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, directing a 16mm Bolex-shot short documentary about Santa Barbara's pioneering women surfers, and shooting a PBS series that celebrates BIPOC shark scientists.
