S01.E05 - Jono Hunter MORE THAN MUSIC

Jono Hunter is a filmmaker, musician, artist, writer, record label head honcho and all round super talented person. He hails from the East Coast of Canada and lived in Toronto for many years when he and his bandmates in Horses moved there and recently he has been living in LA but that may be coming to an end. He has played in multiple bands, including some of my favourite bands, period, Atlas, Horses, Attention, Threes, Found Objects, Downers, supporting Malcolm Bauld, Greg Macpherson, and I’m sure a ton more.
He has filmed numerous music videos for his own and his friends bands going back over a decade, and runs a record label called Must Be Nice that puts out his and his friends records. He has created so many tour and show posters.
He released an award winning, well-received feature film called Modern Classic, as well as numerous award winning shorts that he wrote or co-wrote, directed, and acted in. He wrote, voiced and animated a short series called Night Drives. He released a graphic novel called Visitors. Maybe later in the episode we’ll talk a bit about Hoaxes… And if we don’t, look it up.
But to pay the bills, he is a very in demand creator and director for commercials for major brands and has representation all over the world.
