Filmmaker and electronic music producer Jordan Hunter was introduced to the creative hive that is HOME by his good friend Daniel Simmons.

Along with Jordan’s girlfriend Caitlin Eadie, a local singer-songwriter, the three attended what became a pivotal Falcone Friday mixing session.

Not having known anything about HOME, on the ride to the mixing session, Jordan said,

“I really want to find a cool, creative coworking space where I can be around other creative professionals.”

Lo and behold, his wish came true.

Having grown up in Albuquerque, New Mexico—where he spent parts of his childhood filming his X-men and Warriors of Virtue action figures with his dad’s VHS-C camera, and parts of his young adulthood venturing into the New Mexico film & TV industry—Jordan moved to LA in 2014 to hone his editing and post production skills for 5 years.

(Note: When Jordan discovered dubstep and Ableton Live in 2012, a whole new world of audio production opened up. He realized he could make sound all on his own without anyone else, and has been creating music ever since. Jordan describes his production sound as a mix of hip hop, EDM, and experimental electronic music—his biggest influences being Skrillex mixed with Coheed And Cambria.)

In LA, Jordan received his first big opportunity working on House of Cards.

As most entertainment gigs go, he started at the bottom. He assisted people in post production by grabbing lunch and coffee. But those memories are some of his fondest.

In time, the crew assigned him creative work on the side, which led to attaining visual effects artist status on the show. His having a hand in House of Cards endured for 4 years.

While Jordan was working visual magic on HOC in LA, he crossed paths with his current girlfriend Caitlin Eadie at a singer songwriter event. The two subsequently bonded over music, and eventually ventured into touring—cruising up the West Coast all the way to Vancouver in 2017 and trekking across the pond to the UK, Belgium, and Germany in 2018.

And alas, it was love that drew Jordan to Nashville.

Caitlin wanted to be closer to her family and finish her degree in Nashville, so the two of them journeyed 2,000 mi. to live in Music City, USA. Although Nashville does not have as many fruitful TV/film opportunities as LA (or golden sun or mean burritos), our city makes up for the lack with collaborative music opportunities—because music and visuals go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Cue Continuous, Jordan’s creative production company, specializing in promo videos, music videos, and commercial projects for small businesses and brands—focusing on helping people achieve their goals through video and creative content.

For Jordan, music videos are the most fun of all projects, since hanging out with other artists and uncovering their vision yields an abundance of creativity.

To all the video gearheads out there, Jordan’s equipment includes: workhorse camera = Panasonic GH3 or Sony a7S II; if there is a cinematographer or DP on board = Arri Alexa ; editing software = Adobe Suite (Premiere Pro and After Effects, primarily)

At HOME, Jordan greatly appreciates having a place to go and see familiar faces, not being cooped up in his house all day (something we are all too familiar with at the moment).

He envisions collaborating with as many Homies as he can, in addition to attending invaluable workshops, listening sessions, and think tanks.

“I learn so much every time. I want to take full advantage of everything there is to offer,” he states.

Since collaborating in person is not exactly an option right now, Jordan is using this quarantine time to go back to the basics for his business, ensuring he has a solid foundation and smoother workflow to effectively bring a client on board and guide them along with whatever they decide will help them out. Simply put, he’s utilizing his creative skills to help others grow as much as he can. That may take the form of strategizing concepts and ideas, shooting a video, or producing a song.

Most of all, this is the time to focus on physical and mental health, to touch base with family, friends, and colleagues, as well as to return to his roots and hone in on what’s most important: people.

According to Jordan, this odd time has germinated creativity. He sees more people leaning in and embracing the chaos to create more.

“Knowing there is a captive audience—everybody sitting at home . . . watching funny videos or listening to music. It’s comforting knowing people are hungry for something to bring joy, entertain, inspire, or educate them.”

He explains further,

“I had a feeling 2020 was going to be a big year . . . though it’s maybe been a big year in the wrong ways, this year is great for vision and clarity. This is the year to look at life, where you’re at, where you’ve been, and where you want to go . . . to embrace opportunity and use it to help the world.”

Right now Jordan sees a lot of opportunities to partner up with people with large audiences and figure out ways to benefit people through a fund or virtual charity event.

“It’s a major blessing in disguise with people coming together and wanting to help people out.”
