Jason Goldwatch is a Los Angeles-based Director and Editor best known for his music videos for some of hip hop’s finest rappers. A brief collection would include Nas, Jay-Z, Kid Kudi, Common, Schoolboy Q, Pusha T, Alchemist, Evidence, Conway the Machine, Atmosphere, The Roots, Action Bronson and Kool Keith.  In this episode we trace his career, from making Beastie Boys tribute videos in high school to being the youngest signee to Spike Jonze’s production company to starting his own company and record label to now returning to being a one-man show, culminating in his recent album length video for Atmosphere, The Day Before Halloween.

A few topics covered in this episode:

  • Jason’s thoughts on why you should absolutely not go to film school. But maybe. But definitely not.
  • digging in the YouTube crates
  • editing in the pocket
  • creating a visual language
  • spirituality in the edit
