Born in D.C. and raised in Maryland, Jason began writing and directing films with artists in Chicago in 2003, including Narrow You Down (2004), Limits (2007), and Inherited (2014). Inspired by classic theater, literature, and cinema from around the world, JWP loves stories that celebrate the bizarre and uncanny alongside the poetic and the prophetic. Jason has been teaching literature, history, and media arts to high school students for the last 10 years. He cooks for his gorgeous and brilliant wife and children, because they give life so much flavor. A musician at heart, Jason considered a career as a Jazz drummer, but also loves Classical, Hip-Hop, Punk Rock, and all the notes in between. Check out the cinematic activities at vimeo.com/jwpfilms
