Finalist
Jake Brown was born in Northwest Florida. He developed an affinity for films at an early age while watching home movies on his family's VCR. After producing numerous local commercials for his hometown news station, he is now the writer, director, cinematographer, and editor of his first motion picture, Chapter 9.
Thank you for considering our film Chapter 9. It was completely self-funded, with a wholly original score, and captured entirely on Super 8 film at Northwest Florida state and local parks. Feel free to contact me at our linked website with any questions you may have.
