Dana Jackson

A Los Angeles native, Dana knew early on he wanted to work in the entertainment industry. Upon graduating High School, he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Radio-Television and Film from California State University at Northridge. During his final semesters, he interned at Dick Clark Productions doing research and writing intros for Mr. Clark's weekly radio show. While there, he was given the opportunity to write an article that was approved and published (under Dick Clark's name) for "Dick Clark's World of Music". It was here that he learned he had a passion for writing. He didn’t follow that path. After graduating, he worked at one of the largest commercial production companies in the city and began a long career as an Assistant Director and member of the Director's Guild of America. Even though working as an AD took up most of his time, he kept the goal of producing and writing his own projects in mind.

In 2016, he completed UCLA's Extension Program earning a certificate in Independent Film Producing. He retired in 2020 and focused on developing his skills as a writer and producer. To date, he's completed scripts for two features, one multi-camera family comedy, an animated short, and optioned a short story to serve as the pilot episode of a crime/mystery anthology series. He has other projects in various stages of development.
