As CEO and Founder of UNGER MEDIA, Jonathan Unger focuses on global content with a purpose, bridging imagination with impact in every story told. We are industry disruptors, believing in the power of storytelling and how it can not only connect us, but also change the way we view the world. What matters most to us is not only entertaining audiences and making them think, but ultimately making people feel seen. With deep relationships across scripted, non scripted, documentary, and audio visual/podcast genres, we continue to actively create stories that reflect groundbreaking voices that deserve to be heard. Some of our collaborators include LeVar Burton Entertainment, Robin Roberts' Rock'n Robin, Marcia Gay Harden, ATTN:, Blumhouse, 20th Television, Peabody Winner Timothy Ware-Hill, Music Legends Yolanda Adams and Rickey Minor, amongst others. Current series include the new podcast series “Shattering The System”, in collaboration with MACRO and iHeartPodcasts, which is hosted by NPR acclaimed journalist Sonari Glinton, Tastemade series “The Unruly Baker” with World renowned Author and Cake Artist Bernadette Gee, and acclaimed NZ indie film “Mysterious Ways”, by Award-winning UK Director Paul Oremland. Recently, Unger Media announced adaptations of “Never Forget Eleanor” by New York Times Best-selling Author Jason June, along with a film adaptation of “The Marble Faun of Grey Gardens”, based on the iconic “Grey Gardens” documentary. Content comes in all forms, but our motivation is to make a difference and the world a better place with everything we create, constantly pushing to shine a light on underrepresented audiences. While we not only collaborate with giants of the industry, we also cultivate and mentor those who are growing in front of and behind the camera. Finding unique POVs and talent drive us everyday. At the end of the day, Jonathan believes that when creatives at every level are in it together, true magic happens. See more at www.ungermedia.com
