I'm almost in my seventh year here in L.A and yet more friends are leaving to explore life in the "real world." I often get mad at them because I feel like they have given up on their dreams. But they haven't. Rather, they've morphed their dreams into something different. Life to them isn't just …
Edit, Edit, Edit
I'm nearly done with the Ranger Danger edit so we can begin submitting to festivals, FINALLY! It's been an incredibly long road to get this far and I feel like enough time has passed to share why things have taken so long. Approximately one month after shooting the movie, a man hit the back corner …
Music video
After Ellen and The Laughing Lesbian just released a Music video I directed (and acted in, and did the production design, and wardrobe...) It turned out amazing. It's for my dear friends, the band No Girlfriends. They rock hard and deserve a little more recognition so we decided to give the world a funny weird video …
My Name is Jaz and…I’m a 2nd AD

It's a horror comedy that explores the relationship between law enforcement and the violently absurd tropes of the horror genre. It's gonna be a gas! Cannot wait to film …
My Aspirations
Actors aren't the only people who want to get hired on a project so bad they can taste it. They're just the most vocal. I'm working towards my dream project EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have a month and a half to get hired. Gotta keep it up. Gotta work hard. Gotta believe in myself. ~Jaz

Well hello there! Just a quick update: I will be shooting a short one week from today and I am so freaking thrilled! What's better is I get to collaborate with amazingly talented friends and spend five hours doing what I love with them. The completed scene will be a pitch submission for an NBC …

Working on stuff. Good stuff. GREAT STUFF. Fill you in later!~Jaz
Yes, I was the girl that asked about a job.
Hello there good people, Get comfy, this is a long one, but worth the read. So, I attended my first Paleyfest this year for American Horror Story: Coven and it was insane! For those of you unfamiliar, Paleyfest is a 2 week long festival where niche shows hold panels and interact with fans, share inside …
