Prior to starting First Story, Jason worked as the Head of Production & Development at Lynda Obst Productions, a Sony-based production company. He also worked at Lionsgate where he rose to Story Editor in the Motion Picture Group and served as the junior creative executive on multiple feature projects. Jason cut his teeth as the assistant to CEO Jon Feltheimer and was named one of Variety's Ten Assistants to Watch.

Jason's feedback was not only actionable and clear, he did a great job of laying out his approach to managing writers - and helping them both hone their craft and supercharge their career. Great guy. Invaluable session.
