Who We Are
JOSUBU Productions is a full-service creative production company powered by a nationwide network of seasoned professionals. With over two decades of industry experience, we specialize in cinematic video, documentary-style storytelling, motion graphics, and editing for brands, networks, and agencies coast to coast.
Our strength lies in combining creative excellence with purposeful storytelling. Whether you're launching a product, sharing a patient's journey, or producing a national campaign, we bring emotional resonance and cinematic polish to every project.
Our Roots
JOSUBU was founded by Jonathan Budine, a New York City-based director, editor, and motion designer who spent over 20 years crafting high-level campaigns for CBS, NBC, ABC, HBO, Showtime, MTV, Comedy Central, ESPN, and more. He was also part of the editing team behind Michael Moore’s Academy Award-winning documentary Bowling for Columbine and the acclaimed film The Kid Stays in the Picture.
During his time working with top-tier post-production houses like Broadway Video, Creative Group NYC, and Motive NYC/HSR, Jon developed a reputation for excellence, creativity, and reliability.

The Spark Behind JOSUBU
In the early 2000s, Jon created a personal website to archive cherished family memories. That simple digital space sparked a powerful idea: to build something of his own. Inspired by the desire to be more present for his growing children and to strike a healthy work-life balance, Jon took the leap. He launched JOSUBU Productions in 2011, bringing along trusted clients and years of industry know-how.
Named by blending the names of Jon and his wife Susie (JO-SU-BU), the company quickly evolved from a personal venture into a thriving production studio. With flexibility, passion, and experience, Jon built a company that could deliver high-caliber content while allowing more time for what mattered most—family.

David, DHRX Branding LLC
JOSUBU Productions is one of the most responsive, talented and innovative video production companies I have ever hired. The first project we worked on together was a series of still photographs, stock footage, and integrated typography. Pretty much the basic ingredients for a promotional video without a huge budget. JOSUBU and I collaborated by phone prior to editing and the vision we shared was so similar - we almost finished each other’s sentences. They created – what could have been a mundane video – into a dramatic and emotional story. The client was thrilled and so was I.
But don’t just take our word for it.
These reviews come from clients who’ve counted on us—year after year—to deliver creative work that connects and delivers.
