Jake Sloan

My name is Jake Sloan and I'm a filmmaker and Photographer based in Anchorage Alaska. Over the last decade my work has taken me around the world and opened up opportunities to work with brands like Disney, Caterpillar, Bell Helicopters, Robinson Helicopters, PBS, ABC and many more. My work has been Emmy Award nominated on multiple times and won a few of them. I am passionate about capturing and telling compelling stories using video and photos.
