Jacob McNeill

Jacob fell into commercial film at 14 as a Motion Graphics wunderkind - working all-nighters during the summers on national tv ads for Mitsubishi at a boutique agency in Southern Oregon.

“I wanted to be an engineer, but advertising stole me and I never looked back. It has everything a mind craves - art, psychology, systems architecture, problem solving, and sales. It’s the gas in the engine. It’s never boring.”

Over nearly 3 decades, Jacob has mastered nearly every discipline - constantly learning and building a deep and wide holistic toolkit - working as a freelance Commercial Film Director, Director of Photography, Editor, Motion Graphics Artist, Compositor, Copywriter, and Art Director.

“I wanted to be the queen on the chess board and be indispensable - so I learned to do everything. A lot of people have a hard time with the “jack of all trades” thing, but I’ve found that each new thing I learn informs all of the others - making me better at all of them. I like breaking paradigms in that way… For me, 1 + 1 equals 11.”

Jacob is married to the love of his life, Myah, and they have 3 kids together. They moved from Oregon to Central Florida in 2024.

“At the end of the day, my goal is to be a solid resource for my clients and make things easy for them. I want them to turn a solid profit and minimize their risks. It’s more about a long-term relationship than a one-off transaction. With me, you’re getting someone who’s spent their entire life in this industry and understands every aspect of how to make things that move the needle - an artist with the strategy to back it. Left brain and right brain.”
