He started his fascination with filmmaking when he experimented with the family’s Video8mm video tape camcorder and making home movies with family and friends. This helped him deal with the stress of childhood and bullying. Years later, Jack has directed thirteen short films, with three having success found at film festivals. Jack formed Movie Making Media, an inclusive production company for online films in order to tell stories the industry and his educational university could not. He found telling inclusive and neurodivergent stories helped bring awareness to the world as found with his multi-award-winning semi-auto biographical drama short ‘Tourettes & I’ He wanted to ensure the cast and crew felt safe and supported and not pressured by the hard restraints and mentally disorienting world of indie-filmmaking, where mistakes can be made and rectified and allow a relaxed set. Jack just released his mental health / love letter to cinema short drama ‘The Projectionist’ and is now returning to the world of neurodivergent storytelling with ‘Teardrops of A Clown’ a break the stereotype / autism awareness drama which stars Leo Long from the Netflix original film ‘I Used to be Famous’.
