Jonathan's work looks at the world of 'Slow Cinema'. His films slow down shots to give the audience more time to adjust to what they are looking at, longer sequences with few edits and cuts immerse viewers in the world of the story they are watching. There is often less dialogue in slow cinema as it focuses more on the internal dilemma of the characters and their conflicts. Typically slow cinematic films can reach well above 3 hours long (and in some cases up to 10 hours); however, Jonathan's screenplays are made to short films to be easily accessible; he plays with the idea of short stories being long, favouring long tracking shots over traditional Hollywood jump cuts.
