The Story of JABB
JABB pictures was formed in 2009 by Jason Hoover.
He set out to create a production company to fulfill his dream of becoming a filmmaker.
With the help of friends and family he began to assemble the equipment
necessary to make this dream a reality. Knowing very little about computers
and having no formal training in filmmaking, Jason upgraded his computer for
editing and taught himself to use Final Cut editing software. Jason began to
write and direct short films featuring his friends and family.
The feedback from everyone including several movie reviewers was very positive, reassuring Jason that this was indeed his true calling. Jason has continued to write,
direct, produce and edit his films and in November of 2009, JABB pictures
released their first film "Spike" at HorrorHound Weekend in Cincinnati, OH.
The film has been reviewed by many of the top critics and podcasts in the horror genre.
All of which, gave overwhelmingly positive reviews. "Spike" was also chosen as an Official Selection at the Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, KY as well as many others. Ready to tackle his next project, Jason began to write his second film "Polly".
Only 80 days after the release of Spike, "Polly" debuted at the HorrorHound Weekend movie convention in March of 2010.
The film has been featured on the Mail Order Zombie Podcast
receiving a 4 out of 5 rating, as well as many other horror review websites.
Following the success of Spike and Polly, JABB pictures organized and released
a short film collection titled The Collective in March of 2011. The Collective has been heralded as the most unique short film collection the independant world has ever seen.
The Collective series has been featured on a number of podcasts and review websites in the horror genre. It has also screened at all the top horror conventions in the Midwest.
Having produced 15 short films in 2 years, Jason is now in preproduction on his first feature film slated for an early 2013 release. He looks forward to the challenge and is excited for the opportunity.
When asked what his long term goals were, he responded with
"Complete World Domination."
"If this is what Jason Hoover can do with no budget,
it will be amazing to see what happens
when they have one to work with."

"Jason Hoover is quickly becoming
the master of intimate horror."

"As a filmmaker, it's clear that Hoover knows how to get the maximum result out of even the lowest budget project."
