Jacob Kernis is a writer, director, producer and gaffer based in New York. Graduated from the University of Michigan, he now runs a narrative production company Third Staircase Productions LLC. From Lego stop-motion animations when he was a little kid to running a 30+ person set, his obsession is the same.  Jacob balances his still, cerebral style for more serious projects with his playful irreverence in comedy.​​​​​​​
