About Holden Jones

Holden Jones is a video producer and editor based in Chicago, IL. Holden has been making videos since 2008, and has been a lifelong gamer. When not making videos, Holden can usually be found with a Nintendo Switch in tow, or with a book on his way to the park.

Favorite TV Shows

Lost, to me, is one of the best shows of all time. No other show I've seen manages to catch my attention and get me as invested in the characters' lives and backstories. Plus, TV shows these days are too short- who can grow to love a character after only 10 episodes?

Favorite Console

I think in my hearts of hearts I'm a Nintendo guy. My first console was a Gameboy Color and I took that thing everywhere. Then, when the Wii came out I was head over heels for the creative and unique Wii-mote gameplay. And now, of course, I adore the portability of the Switch.

Favorite Movies

Two very different answers: Titanic and Inception. Both appeal to different parts of me. Titanic is peak cinematic drama and offers something for everyone. Inception itches the part of my brain that loves a sci-fi thriller, and it's always a treat to rewatch and see what new details I find.
