John Lockwood Media
On set — Black HawksThe NameBehindThe Curtain.
John Lockwood is the founder and creative force behind John Lockwood Media. When you work with JLM, you are not hiring a faceless production machine.
You get John's passion for the craft, attention to the details that matter, care for the customer and a genuine love for creating powerful media. John leads the creative vision and builds the right production approach around each project.
Before launching the company, John spent roughly a decade as a videographer and editor in the outdoor industry — capturing and editing product launches, campaigns and branded storytelling for some of the most recognizable premium brands across hunting, fishing, shooting sports and RV travel.
That experience taught him how to make beautiful content — but more importantly, how to make content that has a purpose. In 2025, John stepped out on his own and founded John Lockwood Media. A dream he is deeply grateful to see God bring to life.
The goal is simple: help great organizations tell better stories, launch stronger ideas and grow through exceptional media.
