.WHO IS THIS MAN?.

DUDE, MYTH OR MEGA PERSONALITY?

Hey : )
I’m Jason Esteves, aka J.

A filmmaker in the making, drawn to stories that move, connect, and stay.

Along the way, I’ve worn many hats – hosting events, facilitating conversations, shaping brands, PR, image consulting, and even running my own agency, Creative Mischief Collective.

Different worlds, one thing in common: people.

Each experience shaped how I see them and the stories they carry.
Every curveball taught me to adapt, reinvent, and turn moments into something that inspires.

I’ve learned I’m a bridge between ideas and people, chaos and clarity, freedom and structure.

Now, it all comes together behind the camera.

WHY ME?

Two decades in, I’ve done a lot, but I draw from all of it.
I’m adaptable, quick-thinking, and thrive in chaos.
Curiosity drives me.
I learn fast and find meaning where others see mess.
I aim to awe, entertain, and inspire.
I’ve always said no to being pigeonholed.
Change doesn’t scare me, it fuels me.

ABOUT.ME.

.WHAT I DO.

FILMS

Producer, Director, Screenwriter

Films have been my first love for as long as I can remember…it all began with Bollywood choreography, where the music, movement, and magic pulled me in and never let go.

That love turned into purpose when I found myself behind the camera, building worlds frame by frame.

Trained in filmmaking with experience in Production and Direction, I blend creativity, aesthetics, and business sense, understanding both the art and the business of cinema.

Take a look at some of my work:

Phoonk – Writer, Director, Co-Producer
Acts of Oppression – Adapted Screenwriter, Director
Billie Jean / Jiya Re – Director BTS
Sajde – Chief AD
Video Essays & Animations For Learning – Conceptualizer

Film Profile

FOOD

Key Brand Strategist, Events Professional, PR

Food has always been my way of exploring culture and connection, and I’ve got a sharp palate for drinks too.

My time as cabin crew sparked a love for hospitality, and my media background brought storytelling into F&B.

I’ve built restaurant and bar concepts, shaped brands, and curated experiences, from launches to multi-city food festivals.

It’s been one of the most exciting chapters of my journey.

FOUNDRY

Founder, Creative Director

I founded Creative Mischief Collective, a creative agency in Mumbai focused on F&B and hospitality brands.

For two years, we built brands, shaped stories, and stirred up a little creative chaos along the way.

From branding and design to PR, social media, and experiences – we did it all.

FINESSE

Image Consultant, Personal Branding Coach

I was judged and criticized for how I looked as a kid, so I learned to build confidence from scratch and find my own sense of style.

That journey led me to help others do the same – to communicate better, enhance their image, and own their presence.

Beyond appearance, I focused on non-verbal cues and interpersonal skills, guiding professionals, entrepreneurs, teams, and brands to elevate their reputation and visibility with authenticity and impact.

FACILITATION

Presenter, Emcee, Host, Facilitator, Moderator

I’ve spent nearly two decades honing my voice and public speaking skills on stage, on camera, and in rooms full of people.

I’ve led conversations, moderated panels, and presented events for some of the biggest names in business, and even delivered workshops as a corporate trainer.

I blend storytelling, strategy, and spontaneity using real-life anecdotes, quick thinking, and my craft as a certified voice artiste to keep every audience engaged and every moment authentic.
