I'M JACOB.
I’m a filmmaker, “YouTuber”, Content Creator, and horror enthusiast. I’m currently based in Austin, TX.
My passion for horror started in my teenage years when I watched the movie From Hell with Johnny Depp. As this passion grew, I would take my dad’s vhs camcorder to film in cemeteries at night. I also got involved with my high school video club and discovered that I enjoy making videos.
In college, I established Phantom6Productions as a corporate videography company in 2010. After years of doing video production, I took the plunge into filmmaking in 2015. I later pivoted to focus on horror films and horror cartoons. In 2018, I rebranded Phantom6Productions into a horror film and cartoon production company.
As I grew as a videographer and filmmaker, I realized I also had a yearn to teach. I like to help people figure things out and learn new things. It’s one of the reasons why I’ve done eLearning and Instructional Design full time since graduating.
After much consideration, I decided what I finally wanted to do. I fused my passions with my desire to create horror films and cartoons to teach how to make them. This includes everything from lighting and cinematography to editing and visual effects. Also, as I get better with making cartoons, this will include drawing and animation.
