.: A little bit about me ...
Hi, I’m Jason Shaird. I was originally born in Tokyo, Japan. My folks worked for the State Department, so my sister and I have had the privilege of bouncing around from country to country every 3~4 years. I was fortunate to finish my middle and high schooling in the United States. I attended Lake Braddock Secondary in Burke, Virginia. Afterwards, I attended Temple University Japan … that’s right, Temple University in Pennsylvania has an extension branch smack in downtown Tokyo. I was interested in Computer Science, which is what I studied for my first two years. I’ve always liked movies and how they were made, but never thought about studying it. One of my best friends, Oscar, a fellow Dip-Brat, really peeked my interest about film studies. I eventually transferred from Temple University Japan, to the University of Arizona, where I decided to major in Media Arts, focusing in on Post-production and Screenwriting. After graduating, I started working at KUAT, the local PBS affiliate in town. I’m now working in the freelance capacity, looking for new projects, new challenges, and new opportunities. |
