Jon Mercer

Jon Mercer

Jon Mercer is known for his ability to deconstruct a frame or narrative, finding its essential elements and drawing out the underlying emotion. Building drama, finding humor, clarifying reality—his collaborative approach draws out the best and sometimes undiscovered moments of the story. As a director and editor his work has been broadcast nationally and helped expand viewership for a number of online platforms. His films have screened internationally at festivals and can also be seen on PBS. Most notably, his editing for the documentary Calling My Children helped guide it to 12 festival wins and a CINE Golden Eagle Award. His passion for travel and active adventure have led to a career pursuit of stories that are hard to reach, often at the margins of culture and nature. Life Without Basketball is his feature-length directorial debut.
