Biography

Jon, a former civil rights lawyer turned filmmaker, is recognized for the documentary "Surviving Cliffside" (SXSW 2014, Sundance Channel) and the film "Black Dog, Red Dog," featuring James Franco, Olivia Wilde, and Whoopi Goldberg.

Raised in Booger Hole, a hollow in Alum Creek, West Virginia, Jon practiced civil rights law for seven years before transitioning to filmmaking. His final legal role was as legal director for the ACLU of Connecticut. At 31, he left law to pursue graduate studies in film at NYU, where he learned from James Franco, Todd Solondz, Ira Sachs, and Spike Lee. During his third year, Jon served as Spike Lee's teaching assistant. In spring 2012, he co-directed a film alongside James Franco and ten NYU peers; the project was produced by Franco and starred Whoopi Goldberg, James Franco, Olivia Wilde, and Logan Marshall-Green. In January 2013, Jon was awarded a grant by Spike Lee to complete his first feature documentary, Surviving Cliffside.
