About the Filmmaker

Studying film since early high school, Jackson Cooperman has been a visual artist for more than ten years. He is an auteur specializing in directing, producing, editing, sound design, and cinematography. Beginning with home video projects, he started off as a self- taught director, and later attended film school at Eastern New Mexico University.

​

He directed his senior thesis short film in late 2020, WreckVlogs, a proof-of-concept pitch for his horror feature passion project. The short won the Best Student Filmmaker award at the 2021 ShockFest™ film festival in Las Vegas, NV.

​

In 2024, Cooperman returned to his hometown of Millington, NJ where he began development on his first feature-film, Daydream, a coming-of-age comedy-drama where he reflected on the innocence of his childhood years.

​

Cooperman is currently in early development on his feature-length expansion of WreckVlogs, expected to film in 2027.
