mission
Going Home Pictures was founded by Kirk Jackson as a documentary production company in 2003. Since then we’ve also specialized in using the power of photography and video to create the voice and narrative around an organization’s story and mission. We’ve crafted messages and branding for startups, and we’ve brought fresh ideas to organizations looking for a soft or hard pivot in their messaging.
Going Home Pictures dives into challenges & goals, victories & failures, and whatever else helps weave the threads of a story. Whether a topical documentary subject or a well-established nonprofit, there is a story to tell and an authentic way to tell it. We provide the proper visual solutions and the team to bring that story to life.

founder’s story
For high school graduation my grandfather bought me a Sony Hi-8 video camera and a 35mm Canon Rebel. I started documenting my life and sending home edits of my younger years in NYC. Since then, I’ve always had some form of a video or still camera in my hands.
I’m a director, producer, cameraperson, and an editor. I speak best through those lenses - tapping into the singularity, suffering, and strength of subjects and, in turn, my own interest and compassion for what I see. I like to dig deep, get the lens close, the camera dirty, and unearth something new in each moment.
I seek real stories about real people. I’m always seeking to tell the story of human connection. Socioeconomic, culture, science, medicine, arts & music, working class, and nonprofit content are my passion, but I'm a chameleon with the rest. Work takes me all over the country (and then some), but I'm based in the Los Angeles area.
