Experience

Fresh out of college and hitting the ground running, Jason got some hands-on experience in television: working as a production assistant for the first season of HBO's "The Gilded Age." Following that, he began writing for Looper in October 2021, and has since written hundreds of articles about the entertainment industry at large. He's also worked with the Syracuse-based production company American High, writing script coverage as a member of their readers team during his sophomore and senior years of college. Jason lives and breathes film and television, and has extensive experience writing both professionally and academically.

Education

Jason earned a B.A. from Syracuse University, majoring in English and Textual Studies as well as Television, Radio and Film. When he wasn't writing analytic papers about the entertainment industry or writing and directing his own short films for class, he was covering entertainment news for the school newspaper or delivering script coverage for American High.
