Jason Baffa is a film director and cinematographer known for cinematic documentary storytelling and emotionally driven commercial work rooted in surf culture, character, and human experience.
His films have earned worldwide recognition across festivals, broadcast platforms and brand campaigns. His 2018 feature documentary LOOPERS: The Caddie’s Long Walk, narrated by Bill Murray, premiered internationally, winning Best Documentary at the Newport Beach and Cleveland International Film Festivals and later airing on The Golf Channel.

Welcome. I created Jason Baffa Films as a creative label for directing and producing cross-platform visual projects in collaboration with brands, production companies, and fellow filmmakers.
Over the past two decades, I’ve developed, marketed, and distributed multiple independent film properties while building partnerships that extend beyond traditional film production — including merchandise collaborations and brand ventures such as One California Day, Bella Vita with Birdwell, and Zio Baffa organic Italian wine.
This experience gives me a practical understanding of how cinematic storytelling can live across platforms, connect with audiences, and create lasting cultural value.
I’m always excited to connect with creative producers, agencies, and collaborators who are passionate about meaningful visual storytelling.

“Chasing Waves. Top 50 things to watch on DisneyPlus.”
“Baffa’s work is the perfect armchair traveler.”
“A stunning piece of visual art.”
“Director Jason Baffa makes the best and most sneaky-thoughtful films in the game.”
“ ‘Singlefin: Yellow’ is a bona fide classic... and the message is still timelessly relevant.”
“As a film editor, I’m usually the first one to realize what’s working and what isn’t. Jason is always on point, giving me the freedom to realize his vision, rather than simply fix problems. I’ve always felt my job is to make my directors looks good. In Jason’s case, it’s the other way around.”
