Jacob Balken is a student filmmaker, actor, and photographer at Moorpark College in Ventura County, California. Ever since he has been little, he has always shown an affinity for filmmaking. He used to make short films with his action figures and didn't know that it could be a career. Now at the age of 21, he is entering the film world through Moorpark College's Film Television and Media Arts program and his social media presence. Now, he is working on various projects such as horror films, comedies, and promotions. He also works as a scare actor at a local haunted maze Reign of Terror and plays video games in his free time.
