BIOGRAPHY
JASON F. GILBERT
I remember watching A Clockwork Orange as a six-year-old and realizing, wow, this is wildly inappropriate for children. Nevertheless it sparked a love of cinema in general and a love of Stanley Kubrick in particular. Over the years others have been added: Fellini, Polanski, Herzog, Ridley Scott, Jim Jarmusch, Wes Anderson, The Coen Brothers
​
My first short film was a 16 mm black-and-white film called "Sherman & The Kid". It won awards at festivals and led me to believe that I could be a filmmaker.
​
My first feature-length film, The Coat Room won best-in-fest at the 2006 Portland Underground Film Festival and bankrupted me. It led me to believe I would never, ever be a filmmaker.
​
I've been directing films, commercials and music videos ever since.
