I’m Jack.
I’m a Missouri-based filmmaker, and I’m the CEO/Chief Creative Officer of Shrimp Cocktail Films.
I started making films when I was 9, as part of a class that was offered through Springfield Public Schools. It meant a lot to me that the school system offered this class, and it helped me discover something I hadn’t known I would love doing.
Next, I started taking classes with Plotline Film & Media Education, a nonprofit organization here in Springfield that helps kids learn about filmmaking and set etiquette. Plotline helps me level up my skills. I learn so much from the teachers and from the older students—people who’ve been making movies for a lot longer than I have.
All of these experiences have helped me learn about filmmaking and given me a better idea of the kinds of movies I enjoy making.
