After fifteen years of working as a photographer and filmmaker in what is fashionably known as ‘development’, Jason has finally come to the realisation that much of what he was involved in was little more than managed poverty. He started to realise that he was becoming a part of that system and began to understand that it is an industry like any other. He began to question the work he was doing and the absolute disconnect between those who commissioned him and those he was there to document. As a result he made a shift and founded the source project to create meaningful media that is not exploitative and is based on positive stories and a sense of compassion.
