JTWO Releases For Aaron: The Documentary for Free
Nine years ago we released our award-winning feature film, For Aaron: The Documentary which showcased the heartwarming true story of three friends cycling across America to keep one final promise to their fallen friend. The trip covered 17 states, 6000 miles, two support vehicles, and took 65 days but, like Aaron lives in our hearts forever.
Our Director Justin Jarrett has decided to release the documentary for free. Previously all proceeds were going directly to the Aaron Klinger Memorial Scholarship fund at Milton High School, but now must be sent directly to the school. Please address all future donations here: 700 Mahoning Street • Milton, PA 17847.

JTWO works with the Philadelphia Union
Our team had the opportunity to capture a day in the life of the Philadelphia Union‘s soccer star and Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) undergrad Auston Trusty to examine exactly how he maintains a balanced lifestyle juggling both school and play. Just this year SNHU became the Official Education Partner of the U.S. professional soccer team in order to expand access to education and provide benefits to their Philadelphia based students. They aim to prepare young students for success both inside and outside of the classroom.
JTWO Welcomes Editor Ian Schobel
Introducing Ian Schobel
We are proud to announce the newest addition to our team, Ian Schobel. Ian is a recent graduate of our [INC]ubator Project and has been brought on as an Editor. A Temple Media Studies and Production graduate, Ian comes from a family of professional writers, teachers, and film junkies who all share a common dream for storytelling. Having served as an Editor, DP, and Writer for Temple News he comes with extensive experience in the industry and looks forward to stretching his legs further at JTWO.
A Love For Storytelling
Ian has always had a love for storytelling. Growing up with a teacher and copywriter for parents, books were essentially a home for him. He’d sift through over 3 a week, enticed by the new people and places each story brought him, forever eager for his next adventure. But when it came to film, his interest ran bare. He saw little influence in it, and for most of his childhood steered clear of the television. It wan’t until he entered college and witnessed the daily onslaught of advertisements, news articles, television shows, and movies that he began to experience the extreme impact media has on our lives and the way we interact with the world, and so his interest shifted.
His love for film truly began to develop after a semester abroad in Rome, Italy. Being thrown into a culture so different from his own, Ian knew it wasn’t going to be enough to just live out this experience, and so he started filming it. By the end of his trip, he was able to put together a 20 minute documentary that told the beautiful story of an unforgettable adventure far from home.
A Match Is Made
Back at Temple, Ian chose the production track and quickly learned how important post production was. He had directed and worked the camera, but never been to the last stop on the storytelling train, editing. Just like an author, the editor had the power to guide the story, embrace it from different perspectives, put its pieces together and make sense out of them. It was a perfect match.
JTWO Works with 3M
We recently partnered with the most innovative and distinguished global science company – 3M to produce two separate spots for their healthcare division sharing their message of improving the overall health of our world with quality products and solutions. The first video concentrated on the consumer-focused healthcare webpage – Skinsight, which provides quality health information to individuals via the web, while the latest spot helped recap the global company’s 2018 Orthopedic Summit. Similar to our relationship with film, 3M uses science to create impact in peoples lives and the world. We love their mission to inspire and evoke change and hope to continue to help spread their voice!
JTWO Partners with LF Driscoll and Penn Medicine
Our team partnered with LF Driscoll, the leading full-service construction provider in Philadelphia and Penn Medicine to celebrate their commitment to safety. We were able to travel to the Penn Medicine patient tower job site and catch the contractors in live action. Set to debut in 2021, the tower will stretch 17 stories high, with 500 patient-beds, and 47 operating rooms – Penn’s largest capital project to date.
JTWO Works with Pro-Soccer Star Julie Foudy
We recently partnered with our long time client FAAR (Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility) and U.S. Women’s National Team soccer star Julie Foudy to highlight the importance for young women to become leaders on and off the field. As captain of the National Team for 13 of the 17 years she played, Foudy understands the value in educating young women and continues to shed support through her Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy, where she helps girls to overcome insecurities and use sports to build leadership skills .

JTWO Partners with Victus to Photograph Bryce Harper Bat
Our team partnered with Victus to photograph their newest limited edition V243 Pro Reserve, which was created “by the people, for the people” (Bryce Harper). As the Home Run Derby Champion, Harper swung Victus for the 2018 MLB Home Run Derby, letting freedom ring. We were thrilled to be part of the experience, especially since this could be Harper’s final season with the Washington Nationals.
JTWO Works With The Gwen Hotel - Chicago
We recently teamed up with The Gwen Hotel in Chicago to produce a video highlighting the city’s first ever urban glamping experience. The event takes place 16 floors up on the terrace of their Gwen Lux Suite, where our drone artist flew the Mavic Pro Drone high in the sky to capture the suite’s scenic views of Michigan Ave. On the floor, we were able to capture the Lotus Belle bohemian-styled tent that guests spend a night under the stars in, along with footage of the luxurious two-bedroom suite that glamping guests also receive access to.
JTWO Opens Chicago Branch
Look Out Midwest, Here We Come!
Today we are proud to announce the official launch of JTWO | Chicago. We will be bringing our full range of Video Production and Post-Production services to Chi-Town along with some of our talented crew. We already have hit the ground running with collaborations with both agencies and clients on the ground.
Justin Jarrett, JTWO Principal Director
Over the past nine years, we have worked tirelessly to grow JTWO into one of the leading video production companies in the city of Philadelphia and we felt like it was naturally time to expand. There are more stories to tell and we felt like Chicago, with it’s deep rooted history and booming creative scene, was the perfect fit. Also, as a diehard Chicago Bulls fan I wanted a reason to attend more games (Don’t worry Philly, I am still Trusting the Process).
Meet Our New Executive Producer
JTWO | CHICAGO
We are proud to announce the newest addition to our team and Executive Producer of our new Chicago branch, Conor (Conaaaa) Hare! Having worked in account management for 9 years, Conor possesses extensive experience in client services and looks forward to expanding JTWO’s name in the midwest to bring stories that matter to life.
Growing up in a household of musicians, Conor always had a passion for storytelling. He loves the way lyrics meet paper and bring memories to life. Since Conor was young he’s been composing and recording his own music alongside his older brothers and finds that there’s truly nothing like it. He appreciates the connection film has with music and believes that together they form a powerful relationship.
