Jon Sorensen was born and raised in rural Scotland. He had two parents. His grandmother and the cinema. He was sponsored in the film industry by such luminary Directors of Photography as Peter Suschitzky, Alex Thomson, Alan Hume, and Oscar-winning Visual Effects Supervisor 'Brian Johnson'. His first permanent address on joining the industry to work on Alien (1979) was a sleeping bag in Peter Cushing's former studio dressing room for which he is eternally grateful. During this time he took advantage of advice kindly offered him by Ray Harryhausen, Lindsay Anderson, and 'Sir Alec Guinness', and went on to work on a dozen mainstream features in visual effects and camera capacities before branching off into DP work in television drama and commercials. He also directed many commercials, most notably in Europe, and acted on many as visual effects director/DP. During this time he wrote his own screenplays. The first to be produced was a British television drama which he wrote, produced and directed, a supernatural story called 'A Return to Love'. He also operates his own camera, music edits and sound designs. He designed and directed the 35 visual effects shots for this project. He is the only person presently alive in the United Kingdom, in ten years, to have produced, written and directed the sole independent science-fiction feature film to have been subsequently given distribution in the United States. This was his debut feature Alien Blood (1999). He currently lives in the stunningly beautiful English Lake District with his wife and keeps one eye on the majesty of his native landscape and the other on Hollywood.
