Jonathan Jacobson's formative years were spent in the quaint town of Chester, Connecticut, where his parents owned and operated a local video store, thereby enveloping him in a cinematic environment that would later shape his artistic inclinations.
As a youngster, Jacobson's creative energies were initially channeled into directing his friends with his camcorder, allowing him to experiment with narrative possibilities and hone his storytelling skills.
However, it wasn't long before he felt the need to further his education and pursue a more formalized training in the art of filmmaking. Thus, he enrolled at New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, where he immersed himself in the world of film and television production.
During his time at NYU, Jacobson had the opportunity to work on several projects that would later become significant milestones in his career. One such project was Larry Clark's controversial feature film "Kids," released in 1995, which exposed him to the gritty realities of independent filmmaking and the challenges of working on a low-budget production.
The experience gained from working on "Kids" led to a string of production jobs on other New York-based independent films and music videos, further solidifying Jacobson's status as a rising talent in the city's film and television production industry.
Since then, Jacobson has continued to work tirelessly in the industry, building a reputation as a skilled and versatile production professional with a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the artistic and technical aspects of filmmaking.
