Jonathan D'Ambrosio

Jonathan D'Ambrosio was born an hour outside of Detroit, MI where by the age of seven he first began making short films on DV tape. What started as a backyard hobby eventually turned into a full time passion, as Jonathan began entering his films into festivals throughout middle and high school. It was at the same time he began acting in the school theater, performing in a variety of fall plays and spring musicals. Upon graduation, Jonathan had received over 70 awards for his amateur films through various national film festivals, including the Grand Prize for Channel One's "Super 8 Film Challenge" in which Jonathan's film was hand picked as the winner by director J.J. Abrams. Soon after, Jonathan attended the Motion Picture Institute of MI where he specialized in Directing, Cinematography, and Screenwriting. During this time Jonathan directed five short films, each that would go on to gain acclaim through festivals including his short film, Broken, which received a Platinum Remi Award
