Producer :: Casting Director

For the last several years, Jason’s been working. As in, IN the industry.

Jason’s worked in front of and behind the camera as an actor, director, and editor. He’s been on the stage as George Bailey in Chicago and even shared screen time with Harvey Dent (aka Aaron Eckhart) in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Night.

He (known to his friends as “Freddy”) isn’t a one trick pony, though. He’s worked in the business and non-profit world for more than 15 years, and has even spent time overseas as a missionary. He’s a natural leader, a movie lover, and has a dog named Muffin. How cool is that?

Jason lives near Pittsburgh with his wife and two daughters…one of whom is pretty much a newborn.

Favorite movie(s) and/or actor(s)/director(s)?

Favorite movie collection of all time: Rocky (minus 5 – lets pretend it never existed – aside from the end credits). It was the rocky movies that made me realize the power of great storytelling and how inspiring, motivating, and emotional a motion picture could be. The event of “watching a movie” became more of being able to look in on someone’s life and feel their struggles, relate to their pain and watch them be transformed into a hero that could overcome the odds and accomplish their dreams. It was through watching these movies that I to wanted to “feel” and “do” what this so called hero could do. It was these movies that stirred a desire to tell stories and create movies like this. Favorite movie of all time: Its A Wonderful Life.

Favorite band(s) and/or music?

Favorite music is Jazz/Big Band. The likes of Sinatra, Dean Martin and many others. The smooth style and and emotional connection is one that puts me at ease, helps me to think and lets me escape the complications of life.

Mountains or Beach?

Beach, oh yeah, beach.

If Trump called you tomorrow and just gave you $10 million, what would you do with it?

I’d tell him to keep it and fix that mop atop his head.
