STORIES UNBOXED
ABOUT US
Our journey is deeply rooted in our heritage - our families fled the Sri Lankan civil war, and through our work, we aim to give back to the communities we still hold close to our hearts. We are a dynamic film crew, each excelling in our professional careers, and driven by our shared passion for storytelling.
Hello there!
I’m Jonathan, the founder of Stories Unboxed! I was that kid running around family gatherings with a camera, creating slideshows on iMovie, and eagerly anticipating everyone’s reactions. I know my younger self would be proud of how far we’ve come today.
​
In 2023, we began filming weddings, and we made it a priority to give back to our community in Tamil Eelam by committing to donate 5% from all our bookings. And at the heart of it all is our incredible team, which includes not only our film crew but also our post-production and music production teams. I’m grateful to everyone who contributes to our journey.
I hope you'll stay connected with us through our social media - you're very welcome to drop us a message through our Enquiry Form!
