A highly experienced specialist factual Executive Producer and Series Producer, I have produced and directed projects across five continents for a wide range of broadcasters and brands. With an in-depth understanding of Southeast and East Asia, I have shot extensively in China, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Burma, Cambodia, Indonesia, Taiwan, and the Philippines. I have also worked in Central and Eastern Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and the Americas. From China’s holy mountain Laoshan and Singapore’s striking contemporary architecture to the secret passages under Versailles and foraging the rainforest with celebrity chef Viet Pham, my trademark is discovering unique stories from the world’s most intriguing locations and bringing them to life. I am also branching into other areas, including branded content. As a dual national (UK/Austria) I retain freedom of movement and can work throughout both the UK and EU. Clients include: Arte | BBC Media Action | CNA | Discovery Channel | France 3 | History Channel | National Geographic | NHK World | Rai 2 | Reader’s Digest | SWR | Travel Channel | ZDF; CIIDS (China) | E&O | Msheireb Properties | Qatar Charity | Shell From MayYi Lee, comm ed Nat Geo Asia: "I’ve known Jonathan Schütz for more than a decade as an exceptional director/showrunner, writer, and script doctor. For nearly every year since 2007, Jonathan has worked on at least one project with National Geographic in Asia. He’s been instrumental in nurturing and grooming Asian production companies and talents, both from a field production and post production capacity. As far as I know, every company who has had the pleasure of working with Jonathan on a Nat Geo film has embraced his expertise and he continues to excel in his craft. He is a unique talent who can bridge the Asian and European documentary communities given his extensive experience in the industry. " From Choy Lin Mok, formerly comm ed Nat Geo and CNA: "Jonathan is wonderful, versatile and creative. He’s worked with many emerging filmmakers out of Asia and is forever patient and nurturing. (I suspect he’s actually pulling his hair out) He’s a solid series producer who can oversee challenging projects." Read Less
