ABOUT ME
Hello, I’m Tommy Jackson, the owner and creator of IndieBlackMagic.
For over 10 years, I’ve been working as an independent, self-funded filmmaker, doing every aspect of production myself—from concept and direction to cinematography, editing, and post-production.
I’ve built this business from the ground up, and my hands-on approach ensures that every project gets the level of care and attention it deserves.
Whether it's shooting feature films or creating high-end corporate content, I bring the same passion and creative vision to every project.
My journey has been fueled by a love for storytelling and a relentless drive to push the boundaries of what’s possible on any budget.
When you work with me, you’re not just hiring a filmmaker—you’re working with someone who’s been in your shoes and is deeply invested in bringing your vision to life with the highest quality and dedication.
Let’s make something amazing together.
