Director Biography - Rea Summer, Jacob Schmidt, Jason Stratton

Jacob Schmidt was summoned forth upon this earth in the year of 1998. He spent his formative years in the distant land of Florida, a location which resulted in the complete annihilation of his psyche and gave him the ability to communicate with manatees. Due to the annihilation of his psyche, he thought it would be a great idea to become a writer. Now as a scribe for hire, he joins Fountain's Pen Production in their quest to achieve animated glory. Can Mr.Schmidt ever regain his mind? What do the manatees say to him? All this and more next time!
