WE ARE AFTERGLOW

Jamieson Fry & Kerrie Kvashay are a writing & directing team who create immersive emotional experiences.

Combing cinematic visuals and deft storytelling skills, Kerrie & Jamieson’s video art has been lauded as “the most captivating music video of the year” by Decoder Magazine for 2014’s All Ways Closer, which they followed up with 2015’s Motion Sickness, dubbed “every great HBO and Showtime series rolled into one,” by Consequence of Sound.  In 2105, the Fashion & Style front page of The New York Times picked up and featured Jamieson & Kerrie’s video art for one full week.

An expressive visual director, Jamieson honed his skills as junior designer at Imaginary Forces while attending USC cinema school and working as a visual effects artist at Digital Domain, and has been called “a book trailer god” in the 2014 article “Watch then Read: The Best Book Trailers Out There,” garnering nomination in nearly every category of the Moby Awards, ultimately taking home Best Big Budget Book Trailer of the Year; early comedy shorts won top prize at Aspen Comedy Film Festival as director of Best Sketch Troupe, while Grantland praised his 2013 promotional shorts for Spike Lee as “reminiscent of early Aronosfosky.”

Kerrie is an award-winning narrative artist whose work has been taught at Yale and many other universities, performed at the Los Angeles Armand Hammer Museum, dramatized for multiple audiobooks and plays, optioned three times for feature film production, recorded twice for KCRW, won Best of McSweeney’s, Best American Non-Required Reading, as well as the audience award at the Pittsburgh Arts and Lectures American Short Reading Series, among other honors; she is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and currently a polymath Fellow at the Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities, where this year alongside world-renowned physicists Sean Carroll, Kip Thorne and others she was the closing keynote speaker for The 100 Year Anniversary of Albert Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, which was a lot of fun. 

From introducing the cinematic world of Halo: Forward Unto Dawn, to teasing the dynamic sci-fi premise of Bryan Singer's digital series H+, or capturing New York Times bestselling novelist TC Boyle’s wide-ranging cast of characters, Jamieson & Kerrie love inviting viewers deep into the mood and tone of whatever world they’re exploring. 

With over 31 million views to date, Halo: Forward Unto Dawn racked up 2013 Streamy nominations for the Audience Award, Best Writing, Best Male Performance, Best Female Performance, and won for Best Drama, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, and Best Editing. With over 7 million views to date, H+ also picked up 2013 Streamy nominations for Best Cinematography and Best Production Design, while winning Best Action & Sci-Fi Series, and Best Direction.  Currently Jamieson’s shortform documentary work for UpRoxx is nominated for 2016 Webby Award, won the 2016 Wood Pencil advertising and design award from D&AD, and so far this year has garnered over 14 million views.  

But maybe most importantly, together Jamieson & Kerrie throw their hearts into it every single time.
