BIOGRAPHIES
Nicholas Anthony Jacobs (Producer/Director/Writer)
Nicholas
Anthony Jacobs was born in Cleveland, Ohio, later attended Brown University
and still later, the American Film Institute where he earned his MFA
in Directing. While living in New York City throughout the 1980s,
he worked on a variety of independent features including the seminal
independent feature PARTING GLANCES – all before starting to direct
in 1991. Since then, he has written and directed the independent cult
classic THE REFRIGERATOR (winner of several awards including “Best
Direct-To-Video Feature 1993" (Film Comment Magazine), directed
several episodes of the Nickelodeon sit-com, “THE ADVENTURES
OF PETE & PETE” (now in DVD release), as well as episodes of PBS’s READING RAINBOW
and a handful of other TV shows for MTV and FOX Television. After recently working
with Irwin Winkler on New Line’s LIFE AS A HOUSE (2001), and
writing nearly a dozen screenplays, Jacobs (in conjunction with Mr. Dave
Brown) produced, wrote and directed the no-budget protest movie WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION in time for the 2004 election.
In addition, after a recent airplane-viewing of LADDER 49, Nicholas Anthony feels he bears a striking resemblance
to actor Joaquim Phoenix and has decided that "if he can do it, I can do it!" and is now looking to pursue a career as
a stand-in for Joaquim Phoenix.
