Hey, I'm R Jason!
Memphis, Tennessee
I'm a Memphis based filmmaker who is an alumnus of the University of Memphis Film and Video program. I've written and directed numerous shorts including the award-winning films Downer and Wax & Wane as well as edited the feature film Bird Dog. I am now working on the short film Natives that I hope to eventually fashion into a feature film.
