Jonathan Olinger is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker and the founder of HUMAN and HUMAN.vote — organizations built at the nexus of culture and political power.

As a producer and creative strategist, his work has reached audiences through CNN, Univision, The New York Times, MS NOW, and beyond. He has supported Democratic presidential campaigns including Harris, Biden, Sanders, and Bloomberg — and has partnered with leading cultural voices to advance narratives that drive human rights and democratic values.

As Chief Creative Strategist of American Story, Jonathan architects the creative vision and strategic infrastructure behind the studio — shaping what gets made, how it moves, and why it matters. From investor strategy to brand identity to content development, he bridges the distance between conviction and execution.

He has spent a career building at the intersection of story and power.

American Story is where that work becomes a studio.
