a flexible command center for
diverse creative projects
who we are
In 17 years of professional filmmaking, Jillian Hanon DeLong has worked with an extraordinary cast of other filmmakers, writers, actors, academics, inventors, media gurus, refugees, pastors and clergy, CEOs, network producers, non-profit leaders, politicians, parents, researchers, educators, community organizers, military veterans, Fortune editors, activists, historians, museum curators, violence survivors, international ambassadors, artists, musicians, and lots of other incredible folks. She has worked on documentary film crews in Cambodia, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Palestine, Russia, and Uganda, and her collaborations have been included in the Tulsa International Film Festival (2007), Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival (2024), Pan African Film & Arts Festival (2025) and Sedona International Film Festival (Audience Choice Winner, 2025). She is primarily a writer, director, cinematographer, and editor.
In intimately witnessing diverse lives in diverse places, she has concluded that happiness and money do not correlate, and very often neither does happiness and success. Happiness and human connection, however, correlate very strongly, and it is from this conclusion that Jillian and her husband, Travis DeLong, founded Blanket Fort Creative: a (mostly) locally-focused artist studio with an emphasis on films-made-in-community, creative workshops, and artist/community retreats.
what we do
Film offerings include short films and documentaries (one to 30 minutes), mini docs (30 to 90 seconds), wedding and event highlight videos, custom social media content, and anything else fun or meaningful – to you or to us.
