Jordan Beck is an award-winning filmmaker, performer, and creative executive whose professional bio reads like it was written by someone being paid by the comma. After graduating from university at age 19, he has spent the last 15 years in entertainment and start-up business development across animation, documentaries, music, live events, and themed attractions.
He is currently Head of Development for Boston-based Hero4Hire Creative, a 3x Emmy-nominated animation studio with multiple original series and specials in the pipeline alongside a client roster that includes PBS Kids, Sesame Workshop, Hasbro, and Nickelodeon.
Jordan is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area but spent the majority of his youth in rural southwest Georgia. He began auditing college courses when he was 12 years old and enrolled as a degree-seeking student three years later. At age 19, he graduated cum laude from the University of Georgia with his B.A. in Film Studies.
In 2018, Jordan co-produced, co-directed, and co-starred in the critically-acclaimed CG feature SGT. STUBBY, based on the true story of the most decorated dog in history. His "Swiss Army Knife" production duties included the direction of all 2D/motion graphic sequences and voiceover performances including his own principal character. He also served as the first VP of Communications – later promoted to Head of Production – for start-up French-Irish studio Fun Academy. He also led production on all digital content supporting the film's release and headed a writer's room on the development of a prequel project entitled STUBBY.

In 2015, Jordan led the conversion of the museum's 15/70 film-based IMAX theatre to a Christie 6P laser projection system, one of the first installations of its kind in the world.
