Jason Avalos ACTOR+ WRITER + DIRECTOR + FOUNDER

My background is comedy and I was Head of Development/Creative Consultant at the award winning comedy and animation production company Space Age Entertainment in which I helped bring home over 50 International Best Comedy awards for the NAMCAR Night Race pilot. I’ve been fortunate to wear many hats in different capacities and roles as a creative director in all its different forms, type nerd, techy, filmmaker, photographer, editor, art director, animation, copywriter to creating and navigating pitches, deciphering client needs, leading multiple jobs and teams at once, constant problem-solving, and carefully finding ways to deliver a thoughtful opinion.
