Biography

Jordan Beck is originally from the San Francisco Bay Area but spent the majority of his youth being raised by a pack of feral artists in rural southwest Georgia. He began accelerated collegiate studies when he was 12 years old at Andrew College in Cuthbert, Georgia, ultimately graduating cum laude from the University of Georgia with his B.A. in Film Studies at age 19 before embarking on a career as an independent filmmaker, musician, designer, and gentleman adventurer.

In 2018, Jordan co-produced, co-directed, and co-starred in the critically-acclaimed CG feature "Sgt. Stubby," based on the true story of the most decorated dog in history. His "Swiss Army Knife" production duties included the direction of all 2D/motion graphic sequences and voiceover performances, including his own principal character. He served as the first VP of Communications - later promoted to Chief Operations Officer - for start-up French-Irish studio Fun Academy, where he was instrumental in raising the film's $25 million budget while also leading production on all digital content supporting the film's release sequel/prequel development.

In a past life, Jordan was a touring musician for a variety of roots rock, country, punk, and jam bands around the Southeast. Beyond his work in the entertainment industry, he is a Public Affairs Officer in the Georgia Army National Guard.

Prior to moving to the South in 1991, Jordan's father Dennis was a freelance artist and blues guitarist in San Francisco. Upon arrival in rural Georgia, Dennis found that his style was best suited to black gospel music, joining a band called The Tears of Joy and performing in small African-American churches across Georgia and Alabama. When Jordan was 11, he joined the band as an organist. This experience was the subject of his first student film project, a short documentary entitled "I Wanna Be Ready: Gospel, The Blues, and the Rural Black Church Experience".
