My name is Jake Buckingham and I'm an experienced documentary filmmaker, cinematographer, photographer and designer based in Omaha, Nebraska in the Central United States. With more than 20 years of experience, I have directed, edited and produced content for documentaries, television specials, and independent film projects. Some of my clients are among the most recognizable brands in the television, media, corporate and entertainment spaces including Oprah Winfrey (The Oprah Podcast), ABC News, ITV Studios, REELZ TV, Facebook, TEDx, The Salvation Army and more.

I am not just a content creator, I’m a storyteller, a visionary and a collaborator. The combination of my broadcast journalism, documentary and breaking news experience has taught me to be fast but accurate, treating every project with the greatest attention to detail. I've directed and produced award-winning content for corporate, nonprofit, government, broadcast and digital clients. Let me help you achieve your creative vision and goals. I would love the opportunity to work with you on your next project.

Whether it's leading a team or group effort to accomplish a set of project goals or realizing the potential in others and encouraging that growth and development, I enjoy helping others find success in life. I'm also inspired by collaboration and teamwork and I work hard to build trusting relationships with other team members, business and community partners, vendors, clients and customers. A lot of my work has also focused on evaluating and improving the efficiency of work processes and production workflows, ensuring project timelines are on schedule, within budget and of high quality.

• If you're a TV producer, production coordinator, show runner or marketing agency who is interested in my work and needing to hire crew members for a job, I'd love to work with you.
• If you're a professional, business or nonprofit looking to hire a videographer, photographer, web developer or graphic designer to produce branded content for a special event, recruitment or product marketing initiative, please contact me. I'd love to work with you as well.

I am currently based in Omaha, Nebraska in the Central United States, but willing to travel for assignments. The closest major cities to me are the Lincoln, Des Moines, Kansas City, Denver, Minneapolis and Chicago metro areas.
