A little about me
I’m Jayden Mendivil — a filmmaker and collegiate track athlete at Chapman University. I build my work the same way I train: through repetition, competition, faith, and constant movement.
The vision behind mend.
mend. is the faith-centered production company I’m building on one belief: stories can do more than entertain — they can help people heal and see something true about themselves.
I didn’t want this to only be about what I could achieve. It’s work built on something bigger than me: honest stories, made with real intention.
mend. is early. The direction is already clear: make meaningful films with people who take the work as seriously as I do.
Creative Direction
I build stories around movement, silence, and rhythm — the details most people cut. Whether I'm shooting an athlete, a place, or something personal, I'm looking for what's actually true in the moment, not just what looks good on camera.
Cinematic is the baseline. What I'm after is a reaction.
Collaboration
I want to work with people who take the craft seriously — filmmakers, athletes, brands, storytellers with something real to say. Reach out if that’s you.
