Jayson's journey into the world of film began humbly, earning an MA in film production from Eastern Illinois University. A stroke of luck led him to a chance interview, where he found himself working alongside renowned film director Francis Ford Coppola. Over the course of four years, Jayson contributed to various successful wine and food projects under Coppola's mentorship.
Encouraged by Coppola's advice to explore new horizons, Jayson embarked on a path as an independent film producer. Since then, he has quietly carved out a niche for himself, crafting thoughtful and compelling content for Discovery Networks, ABC, Amazon, Netflix, and other esteemed brands.
In 2011, Jayson founded Strike Five Films, a modest endeavor dedicated to storytelling. Through this platform, he has written and directed nine short films, which have modestly graced the screens of 80 festivals, earning recognition on six occasions. Currently, Jayson is diligently working on his first feature-length film project, eager to share his passion for storytelling with a wider audience.
