His UCLA MFA Thesis Film \u201cThe Slaughter\u201d premiered at the 2013 South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas and was a finalist for the Student Academy Awards. It continues to play festivals like BFI London, Locarno, and Ann Arbor. Filmmaker Magazine called it \u201ca masterfully directed story.\u201d<\/p>\n

The short film stars \u201cBreaking Bad\u201d actor Michael Shamus Wiles, and is about a pig farmer who tests his unemployed son\u2019s determination to join the family business.<\/p>\n

Jason\u2019s been a finalist or semifinalist for several prestigious labs including the Sundance Screenwriters Lab, the Torino Film Festival\u2019s Adaptlab, and the Nantucket Screenwriters Colony.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s an alumnus of the Locarno Filmmaker Academy and a curator for Short of the Week, the premiere online destination for short films.<\/p>\n

From 2012-2013 he returned to Berlin to complete postgraduate directing studies at the German Film and Television Academy as a DAAD Artist Study Scholar. He remains based in Berlin, where he is developing various feature projects.<\/p>\n

Jason does for hire directing work with his partner Nora Mandray. As Mako Film, their clients include MSNBC, Etsy and Vocativ.<\/p>\n

His first nonfiction book, a practical guide to film school, will be published by the Focal Press in 2015.<\/p>\n
