JEFF PRESTON

Some people see the world in film. For more than 13 years, Jeff Preston has created a following among directors and producers as the man to call for deeply engaging brand stories.

With a passion for documentary and independent filmmaking, Preston spent the past decade developing his talents as a Director of Photography and Editor. During this time, he shot and edited numerous projects for clients such as PBS, Campbell Soup Company, Spike TV, American Greetings and Equator HD, among others.

His work includes pieces featuring celebrities such as Jack Black, Bill Cosby, Dan Aykroyd, David Arquette, John Lithgow, fashion luminaries Nicole Miller and celebrity stylists James Aguiar and Mark-Alan Harmon.

Preston also has deep experience in the college category, shooting profile pieces supporting large capital campaigns for institutions such as the University of Florida, a $1.5 billion campaign, as well as educational leaders Penn State, Saint Joseph’s University and Michigan Tech.

A creative editor, Preston delivered the nine part documentary series, Journeys of the Heart: Peru, for Equator HD. Hour long episodes followed a group of American Volunteers as they helped at an orphanage for the deaf in Peru. Shock of cultural difference, living conditions, and ultimately their connection to the children they met was the centerpiece of the story.

Founding partner, director of photography and editor for Vault Filmworks, Preston shapes the view of the company’s product. A graduate of Penn State’s respected film program, Preston brings a narrative, documentary-style approach to Vault’s work that focuses on form and voice, whether the story is high fashion, rural American life, or the natural beauty of our nations parks.

Preston lives near Philadelphia with his gorgeous wife and two iPad-obsessed kids.

JASON RAMSEY

An entertainment industry veteran, Jason Ramsey is founding partner, producer and director for Vault Filmworks. Deep experience managing international campaigns for Miramax Films to working on set with icons Tim Robbins, Sean Penn and Jack Black, shapes his approach and passion for bringing quality film production to the company’s work.

Before founding Vault Filmworks, Ramsey held top posts at Miramax Films. As Director of International Distribution & Creative Affairs, he managed both distribution and post-production of more than 150 films released between 1995 and 2000, with a combined international box office of more than one billion dollars, including Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Good Will Hunting and cult-favorite Scream.

Acting as the international liaison between Miramax & Dimension Films’ domestic creative affairs, he contributed to the multi-million dollar acquisitions of award-winning films, such as The English Patient, Life is Beautiful, Central Station and Run Lola Run. And while heading up non-theatrical sales, his team consistently averaged a return of 1.5 million dollars per film in airline distribution alone.

Opening the doors to his own production company, Ramsey brought his love of feature film to brands such as gourmet grocer Wegmans, wind energy leader Community Energy, and nonprofit United Way, before joining forces with Jeff Preston to found Vault.

Ramsey lives in location-rich Bucks County, Pennsylvania with his beautiful wife and three movie-loving kids.
