James P. O'Malley - Founding Filmmaker
A seasoned producer, director, cinematographer, editor, VFX director and project workflow consultant, with over 25 years experience delivering complete creative media and entertainment solutions.
“I got my first break at age 16, when we lived in Brazil. I was hired as cast and crew translator on SAVAGE HARVEST an American feature shooting there. Day one, I knew making movies was for me. Before photography wrapped, I had worked my way up to 3rd Assistant Director.”
Since then, he worked all the way up to full-on-filmmaker; directing and shooting seasoned on-camera talent, real-people, kids, animals, athletes and celebrities. O'Malley has shot on land, in the air, in and on the water, on tabletops and studio stages...and...as preferred, mostly on location, always on time.
Selfishly, Carnaval Pictures was designed to be a dynamic, lean, creation machine, that enables beyond-budget visual style and production value, within a fun and flexible structure.
“Every project is unique, and each requires fresh creative and technical ideas. No matter what, we give you something special, each and every time. Something your very own. It’s not even our reel yet.”
A collaborative storyteller and functional realist, O'Malley has the deep experience, core ethics, creative perspective and technical know-how to define complex campaign requirements and create custom media solutions, to fulfill your every project need.
