About us

Stories live in motion.
Meaning lives in feeling.
What emerges is shaped by movement and emotion.
Drawn to the ocean and personal journeys, everything we create is meant to be felt, not simply seen.

JZ Media

JZ Media is a creative Film and Photography Company focused on cinematic visual storytelling for brands, athletes and personal projects.
Our work moves between commercial procuctions, event coverage and long-term documentary storytelling, always guided by the same intention: creating images that carry rhythm, emotion and meaning.

We collaborate with international brands across industries including automotive, lifestyle, beauty, technology, sport, travel and culture.
Whether working on global large-scale productions, social media campaigns or documentary films, our approach remains consistent, observing closely, working with intention and allowing moments to unfold naturally rather than forced.

JZ Media was founded by filmmaker and photographer Mario Andrade, whose work is shaped by an intimate connection with the ocean an a deep curiosity for journeys that push beyond perceived limits.
His path into filmmaking did not begin as a career plan, but as a way of understanding people, places and the energy that exists between them.

Spending years working closely with athletes and within environments defined by discipline, pressure, adventure and courage, Mario developed a way of expressing his visual language rooted in patience, presence and timing.
Flowing between film and photography, water and land, his work reflects the environments he inhabits: quiet where it needs to be, dynamic where it demands it and always connected to lived experiences, atmosphere and emotion.

A central part of JZ Media's identity is the creative collaboration with professional surfer Janina Zeitler.
Closely connected through shared work, life and vision, JZ Media has been shaping and expanding the creative and commercial opportunities surrounding her career.

This close relationship to elite performance deeply influences the way we work, being the foundation of our understanding of pressure, progression and creativity.
It allows JZ Media to operate at the intersection of sport, brand storytelling and personal narrative, always grounded in authenticity.

Based in Munich and operating worldwide, JZ Media creates wherever the journey leads.
From the mountains to the ocean, from studios to remote locations, we are present wherever meaningful moments take shape around the world.

Some projects begin with a briefing.
Others begin with a feeling.

If our work resonates with you, we would love to create together.
