About
Nearly three decades in the entertainment industry, Jeff has been fortunate to have worked with some of the industry’s luminaries. He honed his storytelling skills as a creative executive under the tutelage of legendary producer and executive Fred Silverman, and in development at HBO Pictures. With stints in production, as an assistant camera operator; in post production, again at HBO; and in marketing and motion graphics at Aspect Ratio and Picture Mill, Jeff immersed himself in every facet of the industry. As executive producer and co-founder of Jacked, Inc., he built the first of the now ubiquitous second screen experiences for television. Funded with six million dollars in venture capital, the company was sold to Roundbox, a leader in mobile technology. Partnering with friend and colleague David Clayton, they founded Plucky in early 2014, a main title design and production company in Burbank, New York and London. In 2023, they launched Plucky Pictures to develop long form narrative content.
