How Film Can Shape a Nation’s Future | Jason Rajasinghe | TEDxColombo
In his TEDx Talk, Jason Rajasinghe passionately argues that film is not just a reflection of reality but a powerful tool to shape it. Through storytelling and examples like Sri Lanka’s hidden role in Indiana Jones, he demonstrates how imagination, will, and choice can redefine a nation's global image. He urges Sri Lankans to take ownership of their narrative by building a thriving local film industry that can rival global players, using creativity, AI, and collaboration. Rajasinghe’s call to action is clear: if we can visualize a better future, and have the will to pursue it, we can transform Sri Lanka into a global storytelling hub. Jason Rajasinghe is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker and the founder of iFilm Sri Lanka and RAD Productions USA. Raised between Sri Lanka and the U.S., he taught himself filmmaking through YouTube and built his first camera rigs out of PVC pipes. Today, Jason leads one of Sri Lanka’s most prominent production houses and is celebrated for elevating the country’s film industry. He was the first Sri Lankan to win a Chicago/Midwest Emmy, and his work has earned multiple Telly and regional Emmy Awards. Through RAD Productions, he bridges Sri Lankan creativity with global standards while mentoring young talent and creating new pathways for local filmmakers. Jason is committed to transforming production methods and telling stories that resonate beyond borders. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
