Argentine-American Barenboim was born and raised in Miami Beach, where he grew up surrounded by creative inspirations that inspired him to pick up a paintbrush as a toddler and later pick up photography. His passion for creating visual content led Jonathan to trade the Sunshine State for the Golden State and attend the University of Southern California (USC)’s prestigious School of Cinematic Arts, where he earned a M.F.A. in film production. 

Rodeo Show’s founder and EP Raphael Leopold said of Barenboim, “His experience in the U.S and Hispanic entertainment and advertising markets, along with his raw talent for capturing compelling and relatable characters and narratives, make him a great addition to our roster and a perfect fit for the Rodeo Show family.”

Barenboim said that he joined Rodeo Show based on his recent experience with the company on a job. “I knew immediately that they’re invested in their directors and the creative integrity of the work--and that made them a great fit for me.”
