Hes manned the camera, designed the sets, and worked extensively in post-production visual effects. Hes helmed his own short films and assisted on major studio pictures (The Wild, Sin City). And no stranger to documentary filmmaking, he was Assistant Producer to Bill Jersey on his award-winning PBS series ‘The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow.’ Most recently, Jared has taken on San Franciscos advertising world, prepping budgets and coordinating graphics for heavy-hitting brands such as Sprint, Adobe, and Ask.com.
