Biography

Jacob Hanania's interest in film was piqued at an early age when he took a film arts course in high school. What was intended to be an easy credit turned into a fascination with the medium, growing into a career spanning 12 years. Upon graduation, an internship with a local TV channel allowed Jacob to develop his passion for the technical aspects of the industry. This newly-acquired skill set, coupled with the desire to tell an engaging story, lead him to Landed Entertainments and his 2008 directorial debut, MCF. This film proved to be a success; it was accepted into the New York International Film & Video Festival, inspiring Jacob to continue producing music videos and to build his resume with various roles on set. In 2014, his second short film - Street Meet - was accepted into several international film festivals. His third short film, Memory Jog, was released as part of an anthology feature film called Samanthology in 2019. His latest short film, a musical-comedy called If I Only Had a Name, will be released in 2020.
