Filmmaker

Overview

Alongside writing, directing, and producing his debut film, Citizens of Kattaquam (2024), Jason has worked on other short films in various capacities, including The King of Clark County Middle School (2024), directed by Abby Sommers, and Evoke (2024), directed by Keira Myles.

Graphic Designer

Starting as a hobby during the Covid-19 pandemic, Jason's interest in graphic design is evident in all his work, from his time working as the Graphic designer for Blue Future (a political youth organization), to his recent work in making logos and titles for film.

Jason's abilities as an artist have given him the patience and skillset to master many digital content applications, including Adobe Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, and even the 3D modeling software Blender.

From a very young age, Jason's passion for art has been evident in his ability to draw. While most of his work consists of graphite and colored pencil portraits, he also has limited experience in digital concept art.
