NEWS x MUSE Michael Sandoval talks with Director of Photography from the National Geographic Chris Hemsworth A Road Trip to Remember, Jim Jolliffe.
Jolliffe started his career in film working his way through the ranks of the camera department, working on films and TV commercials. After learning composition and storytelling from many years as a Camera Operator he progressed to become a Cinematographer.
Jim quickly established his own look shooting hundreds of TV commercials. His cinematic documentary style earned him many accolades and awards in the world of TV commercials. His work has taken him all around the world, from shooting with the eagle hunters of the Altai mountains in Mongolia, to living with a Masai Mara tribe in northern Tanzania, to learning artic survival skills from the Sami tribes people of northern Lapland.
Recently Jim has moved away from TV commercials into more long form work, recently shooting the finale episode of ‘Limitless’ starring Chris Hemsworth and Executive Produced by Darren Aronofsky.
In this intimate and uplifting documentary, Chris Hemsworth turns the spotlight away from himself and toward his father, Craig, who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Determined to help, Chris designs a therapeutic “road trip back in time,” revisiting key places from their past to explore the powerful science of social connection — a crucial but overlooked tool in protecting brain health. Along the way, Chris uncovers surprising research showing that connection isn’t just good for the soul; it can also reduce the risk of dementia, slow cognitive decline, and even prolong life. This emotional journey across Australia becomes a chance for Chris and Craig to deepen their bond, relive memories, and discover how love, community and nostalgia can be potent medicine.
