James Bartol

My name is James Bartol.

I am a filmmaker and production designer.

My passion for production design stems from a deeply seeded fascination with the ability to create our own worlds: to imagine and realize a space with its own atmosphere, that has the power to house, cultivate, and enhance a narrative experience.  To conceptualize the environment, build the surroundings, and set the scene for our stories.

I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Film and Television Production from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, with a concentration in Production Design and Art Direction, in May of 2013.  

Production design credits feature a variety of feature and short films that have screened at festivals worldwide including the Malibu Film Festival, Maui Film Festival, Houston Comedy Festival, Holly Shorts Festival, Cannes Film Festival, SXSW Film Festival, and Tribeca Film Festival. Most recently, I was honored the award for “Best Production Design” at the Canberra International Film Festival in Australia for the short film, Behind the Wall.  TV, print and commercial projects include clients and networks such as Levi’s, Nordstrom, Estée Lauder, TruTv, Investigation Discovery and MTV. 

I live in Brooklyn, NYC and work throughout the NY metropolitan area.

 Let's collaborate.
