Jason M. Stephens, a visionary storyteller, hails from the windy city's surrounding suburbs, where he spent his formative years. In 1999, he made the bold decision to trade in the frigid Chicago climate for the sun-kissed streets of Los Angeles, a city that would become his creative haven. Once in LA, Jason enrolled in screenwriting classes at the prestigious University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA),where he honed his craft and developed his unique voice.
The early days of Jason's screenwriting journey were marked by significant success, as his debut screenplay, "Notch 22," earned a coveted spot as a Scriptapalooza finalist, beating out an astonishing 4,100 other scripts in the process. This achievement served as a testament to Jason's innate talent and dedication to his craft.
Fast-forward to 2011, and Jason made the bold decision to relocate to Austin, Texas, a city he had never previously visited. Undaunted by the prospect of starting anew, Jason was ready to embark on his "Second Act Twist," a phrase that would become synonymous with his unwavering optimism and resilience.
In 2015, Jason took the reins as director on his first feature-length film, "Dr. Cheapskate," a project that would showcase his versatility and artistic range. This milestone marked a significant turning point in Jason's career, as he continued to push the boundaries of his creativity and forge a path that would lead him to even greater heights of success.
