JORDYN ROMERO: DIRECTOR​ + DP​

​

I'm a award-winning and Oscar-considered filmmaker who tells stories about people who are all-in. I'm drawn to the boundary breakers, the ones who stake their lives on a dream and refuse to quit. Sports and the outdoors are my home, but the real subject is what drives someone to pursue excellence at any cost: the obsession, the sacrifice, the resilience. I've been trusted by brands like Patagonia, Toyota, Oakley, and Specialized to bring these stories to life. Whether it's a 30-second spot or a feature documentary, my approach stays the same: intimate, cinematic, grounded in real people and real moments.

​

I direct and DP, which gives me a unique advantage on set especially on the nimble crews I thrive in. The athlete mindset shows up in everything I do: preparation, precision, and a drive to win for the story. From the first creative call to final delivery, I lead when needed, listen when it matters most, and keep collaboration at the core.

​

My films have screened at festivals worldwide and achieved distribution through The Los Angeles Times, Amazon Prime, Documentary+, and Outside TV. I've worked with Olympians and elite athletes to tell their stories, including We Are Like Waves (2022), which is Oscar-qualified and was considered for the 95th Academy Awards, while Of the Sea (2019), Ability (2021), and Beyond Normal (2024) have earned Best Director and Best Film awards. The privilege is in the work itself: amplifying voices that need to be heard, advocating for women's sports, and fighting for our planet.
