Jacob has a love for films going back to his childhood and spent many years studying the craft and spending time on other film sets to learn the ropes. In 2003 he founded Cowbell Films and created his first short film, Untraditional Adaption, which was screened locally in Philadelphia and very well received. He immediately followed up with the featurette (what's) The Deal? with only one goal: to make a movie that's just fun to watch! Building upon the success of his last film, he got the ball rolling on his first full-legth feature, Down with the Boogey, which he first started writing over seven years ago.
