DIRECTOR/EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

MORGAN PESZKO was born in Norfolk, Virginia, into a Navy family, relocating across more than five states before settling in San Diego, California. He began inline skating at just ten years old and turned professional at sixteen, competing in the 1998 ASA World Street Championships in Las Vegas. After years of touring, performing, competing, and even earning a Fleer pro trading card, injuries led to an early retirement in 2001 while filming his final skate video segment in Los Angeles.

Using his last earnings from skating, Morgan purchased his first camera and began directing music videos for local LA-based hip-hop artists. With no formal film education, he spent over a decade working independently as a cinematographer and editor throughout Hollywood on productions ranging from MTV to National Geographic, learning every role on set.

“I learned by making many mistakes. Because I wasn’t taught in a school—and this was before all the answers were online—I just got out there. I wasn’t afraid of what I didn’t know. That openness to experimentation has kept my work dynamic and exciting.”

Twenty years after buying that first camera, and having honed his craft across hundreds of productions, Morgan founded Scene 7 Films—a full-service production company creating everything from commercials to documentaries. What began as a one-man vision has evolved into an international operation with crews composed of some of the most talented and genuine people he’s met along the way.

Today, Scene 7 Films produces video and film content for some of the world’s leading brands.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR/PRODUCER

Georgia born and Chicago bred, JON HIGLEY spent summers growing up writing screenplays, taking apart computers, and making some of the first digital graphics. With a degree in fine arts, he moved into the technology world - working with international artists to spread their expression and government to create change. In 2013, Jon left the tech world and relocated to Brooklyn, New York -- completely devoting himself to visual arts and music. To this day he travels the world DJ'ing through London and Europe. Jon currently lives in Los Angeles where he operates multiple aspects of productions at Scene 7.

Morgan and Jon made their first video together in 1997 – a skate video called "Underexposed."

“The strength of the team is each individual member. The strength of each member is the team.”
