Director Biography - Jason Pfister

My passion lies within creating moving pictures. I enjoy acting, writing and directing film content that jerks at the heartstrings. My filmmaking experience is slowly blossoming and I hope to expand into more feature length projects. Originally from Minnesota, I moved out to Los Angeles to further my career and ambitions within the entertainment industry. I have always believed in seeing a vision come to life through a camera lens stemming from my early childhood. My goal is to share these visions with people in all walks of life because telling a story is sometimes the best medicine there is.
