James Appleton Email & Phone Number

I’ve spent well over a decade working on feature film and television sets swinging a microphone around on a pole above actors heads. I have been blessed within my film career to consistently work on everything from Oscar-winning feature films to Emmy-winning scripted television series. I believe that life is filled with seasons, and that seasons of life come and go. New seasons bring new opportunity for growth. Growth is a good thing. I’m the type of person who loves to ride the lightning into the unknown.I am a man who believes we should always be moving forward and evolving as people. We should always seek to do more in life. I am a man who will give you the shirt off my back whenever you need it, but I demand the same respect in return. I am a blessed man who is a husband and a father of girls. Being the father of girls, and therefore the image of what a strong man should be in their eyes, is a great privilege that comes with enormous responsibility. This is a job I will not fail. I believe the world needs strong men more than ever and my little girls will never wonder about their father’s love.My life’s true joy is sharing my joy’s with others in the hopes that they can experience the same joy for themselves. I am an avid outdoorsman who spends most of his free time running around in the mountains, telling stories about my time in the mountains, strumming a guitar, or lifting a heavy barbell. I seek to encourage people to figure out “what makes you, You?” and to prioritize spending as much time as possible every week doing those exact things. We need to find our joy, find the activities that turned us into the people we are first and foremost outside of our careers, and have some good old fashioned fun. I guess you could say I’m a “hobby guy”. I believe consistency is life’s greatest attribute. Consistency leads to greatness. I will continue doing what I do regardless of who is watching because that’s what I do and that’s how I operate. I encourage others to do the same. My desire is for everyone to become their own motivation, their own inspiration, and their own accountability partners in life. People become unstoppable when they don’t need to seek out others for these three things; rather they look inside themselves and get to work. That is what gets me excited.This is who I am. This is what I’m about. Take it or leave it.
