About Me
I TELL STORIES
WITHIN EVERY FRAME.
Based in Toronto, I’m a director, cinematographer, and content producer with a passion for visual storytelling. For over 12 years, I’ve worked across music, branded content, live events, and documentary, using light, composition, and movement to create images that connect on an emotional level.
From the first idea to the final frame, I’m driven by story. I combine cinematography, direction, and post-production to build visuals with intention—the light, the movement, the atmosphere, and the moments that make a story worth remembering.

Clients & Collaborators
"Jacob Ettinger is both a kind and generous person, as well as reliable and hard-working.
He is the definition of a versatile, multi-disciplinary creative that never sacrifices quality, despite the amount on his plate. As a result, he's able to provide a quality experience to anyone who works with him.
I'm grateful to have met Jacob, someone that will not quit unless he's provided his best work to you, even if that means working longer than usual to get the job done."
Eric Bizzarri
Director & Producer, CEO at Future of Film Showcase
"Jacob brought a level of creativity and visual quality to our video work that immediately stood out.
What impressed me most was his ability to take complex industrial equipment and make it visually compelling. His attention to lighting, composition, movement, pacing, colour, and editing gave the final work a much more cinematic feel than traditional industrial video.
He was also easy to work with, receptive to technical direction, and able to translate feedback into a stronger final product.
I would have no hesitation recommending Jacob for commercial, industrial, or brand filmmaking where creative execution and production quality matter."
Andrew Penley
Head of Marketing at Pack-Smart Inc, Senior Marketer
"Working with Jacob is one of the best decisions I have ever made when it comes to my music career.
His vision, work ethic and his ability to bring my ideas to life no matter the situation is extremely paramount to what I do and what I share with the fans. His eye, the attention to detail to spot things and develop even his own ideas that mold into mine makes it very easy to work with him.
He is always thinking ahead and I love working with people in my inner circle that allow me to truly be an artist and not have to micro manage everything on set.
He is one of my favorite guys in the industry and I couldn’t do what I have been doing visually without him."
