Director Bio & Contact

BIO

A 2008 graduate of the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, Jared Scheib directed, produced, shot, and edited his first feature documentary film, The Mayor, in his hometown of Dallas, Texas. After completing it in March 2011, Jared attended the world premiere at Tel Aviv, Israel’s DocAviv Film Festival in May 2011, where it was picked up for Israeli TV distribution on Channel 8, and the North American premiere at Fort Worth, Texas’ Lone Star International Film Festival in November 2011, where it was called the “most-affecting film” of the festival by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Jared believes that content is king, and to that end he imbues his works with tenderness, subtlety, and intensity, striving tirelessly to emphasize what makes art meaningful: honest emotion.
