Jacob Waxler

Personal Description

I am a self taught filmmaker who vehemently supports the use of digital video for film production.

I began making films in 2002 and have since written and directed two short films (14 mins, 11 mins); two feature length films (85 & 80 minutes); and one long format commercial (90 seconds) which was a finalist for the Vogue Fragrance and Film Contest in 2008.

My last short format film, FOLLOWING ABRAHAM (2006) was a finalist for the SXSWClick Festival and is awaiting entry into several film festivals internationally.

FOLLOWING ABRAHAM was shot parially to showcase the enormous talent of the Indieflavor community and, as such, was produced using talent from many of the disciplines represented here. You can view this film and selected other works right here on Indieflavor.

Special Skills

I am a proficient filmmaker who knows how to get the job done under intense pressure and with a limited budget. I work well with actors and crew members and run a tight set. My second feature was shot in just 4 days and my newest short format film took just 3 days of filming. Imagine what myself and my team can do with a real budget.
