Who is Jon Londono?
Born in Queens N.Y. And raised in Los Angeles California. Started acting in TV commercials in the 90’s and has appeared in 14 TV commercials such as Coke, AT&T, Sears, Ford, Chrysler, Budweiser, etc. Jon Londono never had any interest in filmmaking until he purchased his first computer.
Hacker Hunter is about...
Tycoon Mogul gets ripped off by North-Korean hackers. Then hires vampire and gets his revenge. (”really about?” What goes around comes around – Everyone needs a job, even vampires)
Why filmmaking?
Passion for filmmaking. It was that passion that allowed me to easily learn the science of shooting, editing and streaming video technology.
What kind of films do you make?
Action, drama, horror
Is film a big part of your life?
Yes, I always think about it.
Did you try to get subsidy?
No. About 12 actors and one DP. I paid my DP. Didn’t pay my actors but I fed them and gave them a copy 6 months after rap. I used my own money.
New Media; a challenge for film makers?
I find streaming video to be very magic-like. Especially as video encoders become more sophisticated and high-speed gets even faster. I don’t think new media is over-rated it just yet hasn’t found the right marketing ingredient to combine it with to make it very profitable.
Individual film making or co-operation?
Either way is good, depending on the situation.
Plans and dreams...
A movie that profits over 100 million, to make profitable films.
Did you ever had another ambition in life than to become a filmmaker?
Yes. An Actor. Filmmaking is more fun.
Could you finish this sentence "a good film is when.."?
You make the audience anxious to know what’s going to happen next.
Which one is more important to you, the camera or editing?
Both are important. But Editing can save poor moments, a good camera cannot.
