Jesse Freeston makes films, videos and other story vectors out of his home base in Montreal.

He was the filmmaker-host of the popular YouTube series Decouple Studios exploring the technologies that unlock human material dignity while minimizing the destruction of the non-human world.

As a freelance shooter-editor he has worked for a variety of platforms including: Vice News, Politico, 60 Second Docs (Winner of the 2019 Webby Award for Best Documentary Video Channel) and as a member of the media team of the Wet’suwet’en Nation.

Ever since the 2009 military coup d’état in Honduras Jesse has worked extensively in that country, including directing two independent documentary films: Revolutionary Medicine: A Story of the First Garifuna Hospital and Resistencia: The Fight for the Aguan Valley.

He is a member of the Montréal filmmaker cooperative Makila and works in English, French and Spanish.

Before falling in love with cinema Jesse worked as a video-journalist for teleSUR and The Real News Network. When not behind a lens or in front of a screen, Jesse gets his kicks on basketball courts, improv comedy stages, and dance floors. He is a pious believer in the sacredness of a great joke.
