Frank Jacob is a film and commercial TV production executive, an award-winning filmmaker, editor and visual artist. His most recent work was as director, producer and executive producer of the first ever outsourced GAIA TV Production 'Timeless'. He was the writer and director of the feature documentary PACKING FOR MARS, which won the 'People's Choice' award at the 2016 EBE Film Festival. He is also a music producer and composer, and was producer and supervising editor for Series 2 and 3 of the hit Red Bull show 'Ultimate Rush'. With solid, hands-on international production experience covering many years, Frank is an expert in virtually all aspects of the production and post-production chain, in film, TV, and music. Known for his enigmatic approaches, Jacob has visually realized many different subjects that would not ordinarily find their way into the audio-visual medium. This has included an audio-visual exploration of blindness called 'Beating Darkness' for Austrian vision researcher Michaela Velikay-Parel, an after-life 'Video Epitaph' depicting the work of deceased architect Herwig Illmaier, and an annual report in the form of an audio/visual narrative entitled 'Information Is Art', which he performed live in 2007 with cellist Katharina Feldbacher at Carnegie Hall for the influential 'American-Austrian Foundation', an off-shoot of the world-renowned 'Doctors Without Borders'. Other highlights have included a first-of-its-kind 'live cinema' feature entitled 'LOOP Live Cinema', where musical stage performances were orchestrated in tandem with dynamic visual sequences projected as dramatic narratives. He was invited to conceive and perform a unique live cinema spectacle, in January 2010, in collaboration with a 65-piece symphony orchestra in Salzburg, the birth town of Mozart. Jacob is a director and producer of the feature documentary 'SOLAR (R)EVOLUTION', which won 'Best Feature' at the 2013 EBE Awards, and the award for 'Best Consciousness Film of 2013' at the New Realities and META Center Spiritual Film Festival in New York City.
