Meet the Founder

I’m Jim Kulakowski, founder of James June Media. For over a decade, I’ve supported filmmakers, agencies, production companies, and brands with creative direction, audio and video production, sound design, and graphic design.

My work spans narrative film, documentary, commercial advertising, video games, and experiential media. My work has been recognized through multiple industry honors, including a NY Emmy® Award. Whether I’m capturing video or audio on set, shaping a scene in post, designing a brand voice, or matching visuals with impactful sound, my goal is always the same: create work that feels honest, engaging, and human.
