SOFO Cinema Series x Emerald Coast Storytellers Ft. AJ Bleyer, Sponsored by St Joe Foundation

Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the vibrant talent of Florida filmmakers at the SOFO Cinema Series, proudly sponsored by the St Joe Foundation. This month, we are collaborating with Emerald Coast Storytellers to bring you an exciting night of visual storytelling featuring Director AJ Bleyer. 

About AJ Bleyer: 

Trying to marry his passion for cars and cameras, AJ began shooting automotive videos with his high school friends. His work caught the attention of local car dealerships, and at age 22 he left his job at Apple to pursue filmmaking full-time. He founded Advent Films, and quickly became a trusted shooter for elite vehicle manufacturers like Ferrari, McLaren, Aston Martin, Porsche, Tesla and many more.

At 27 AJ was accepted into the DGA as one of the Guild’s youngest directors. Known for dynamic angles and an unforgiving attention to detail, AJ’s portfolio now includes a wide variety of award-winning photo and video work for many of the world’s most prestigious brands and ad agencies.

In front of the camera, AJ has become an ambassador for brands like Fujifilm, Adobe and RED Digital Cinema. Outside of Hollywood, AJ frequently travels to the Pentagon as an advisor for the Department of Defense.

When he’s not working on movies or driving cars, AJ is either working on movies or driving cars.

Our venue for the evening, Distillery 98 will be transformed into a hub of cinematic creativity, featuring the works of remarkable filmmakers who capture the essence of storytelling through their unique lenses.
