Welcome to West Field.
West Field is a cinematic production house that specializes in forging award-winning digital, tv and film content.
We’ve been making movies with our pals since we were kids and refused to stop. So come hang out and share
the story you want to tell… and we will shoot the hell out of it.
Jim Powers
Director + Cinematographer
THE VISUAL: Lifelong camera junkie and award-winning cinematographer, Jim began shooting in the womb and has since worked on blockbuster features and network television. If you’ve seen it, chances are Jim was somehow involved. Jim’s natural sense of framing paired with his technical expertise defines the West Field style.
Jim went blind in one eye after a skiing accident, so he literally sees the world as a camera does.
Steve Powers
Director + Producer
THE STORY: A director since his early days making home movies with Jim, Steve works to define the narrative of each shot. His passion for stories started young, making movies with his brother in his favorite spot; a field tucked away in the woods— west of their childhood home. Those early experiences remain the driving force of West Field's vision today.
Most handsome of the lot…and writer of these bios.
John Stegemann
DIRECTOR + PRODUCER + ART
THE LOOK: “Stegs” has been alongside Jim and Steve since the early days. From production design, prop and display builds to high-concept direction, or commercial highlights to nature documentary production, he works side by side with the Powers Brothers to create fully realized projects.
No shot is impossible when John is involved. Seriously, try it.
