Biography

Jon Osei is a Ghanaian-Filipino Canadian filmmaker from Toronto, raised in Brampton. Born in June 23, 2004, he fell in love with filmmaking after seeing the live-action adaptation of Thomas & Friends, and by 2014 he was making YouTube videos with plushies on an iPad, a DIY spark that still drives his work as a director and producer. Since 2020, Jon has made character-driven shorts across drama, comedy, and romance, mixing entertainment with educational, and philosophical themes. His directorial debut short A Recipe for Romance won Best Student Film (North America) at the Alternative Film Festival (Fall 2024) and Best Romance (5:01-20:00 Minutes) at the Couch Film Festival (Fall 2024). His breakout short, Clockwork Tension won Best Drama at the New Jersey Film Awards (May 2025), Best Drama (Canada - Short Category) at the Alternative Film Festival (Summer 2025), and Best Short Film (Canada) at the Brampton International Nollywood Film Festival (2025).
