Jason wanted to make movies since he was 6 years old, when he first saw those huge yellow letters scroll up the screen during Star Wars at a local drive-in. Jason began his dream by writing screenplays, the first in 1989 called Red Rain. Jason has also written a number of short film scripts, one of which, Potawatomi, was sold to a Canadian filmmaker. Jason is no stranger to the director’s chair, though, having directed a number of films in college, including a 17 minute short film called The Fast Lane. Killing Christian was his first full length feature film, which he directed in 2004. He eventually ended up editing the film himself in 2005, and working throughout 2006 to try to get the film sold and possibly find acceptance at various film festivals, after having premiered the film in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama to a sold out crowd of over 450 people. In 2007, he began work editing together a documentary which chronicled the true story that went into the making of that first feature film, called HOW TO KILL CHRISTIAN: OR HOW WE MADE OUR FIRST MOVIE AND DIDN’T KILL EACH OTHER. Also, in early 2007, he began work writing a new screenplay, Beautiful Torment, and finally completed it in March of 2008, beginning pre-production and casting shortly thereafter.
