I'm Jacob (Jake) Taylor and I am a grad student at West Virginia University with an interest in moving into the film industry. I have previous experience working on student sets as a Director, Director of Photography, and Producer. I don't have a lot of experience, but am willing to work from the ground up to learn. The last big news I have is that I was recently chosen for an interview with Florida State's College of Motion Picture Arts in hopes to join their MFA Production program in the fall.
