Picture of Jesse

In 2005, I dropped out of NYU law school to pursue my dream of making films. Since then my movies have been included in official selections at numerous film festivals around the world, including Cannes, Slamdance, and elsewhere.

I received my MFA in film production from the University of Iowa in 2013. At Iowa, I was the Instructor of Record for several classes, including classes on animation and fiction filmmaking, and I was also the Executive Director of the Bijou Cinema.

I am best known as the co-director of the short comedy The Agony and Sweat of the Human Spirit. I am hard at work on a digital animation based on the Frankenstein story.

I now live in Valencia, CA.
