From an early age, Jared has been endlessly fascinated with telling stories through film. An opportunity presented itself one summer as a teenager as he traveled to Lincoln, Nebraska to interview a group of Sudanese refugees known as The Lost Boys. He quickly found that making a documentary film with no experience at the age of 14 was harder than he thought, but most importantly it solidified his goal of becoming a filmmaker.
After graduating from the USC School of Cinematic Arts, Jared pursued a career in post production with his sights set on the editor’s chair. Most recently, he has led the cutting room on an eclectic array of documentary titles, most notably the Critics Choice Award-nominated Shiny Happy People (Amazon), Trial By Media (Netflix) collaborating with Oscar-nominated director Garrett Bradley, and earning his first Emmy for Science Fair: The Series (NatGeo).
With a deep passion for telling captivating, meaningful stories, Jared has found that documentary film is one of the best arenas to explore and craft fresh, exciting stories that push the limits of filmmaking.
