Jordan Petersen
President, Co-founder
Writer & Producer
After wandering away from Boston University with a perfectly sensible MFA in screenwriting, Jordan found himself working alongside Austin Craig to build out a film festival. By the reckless caprices of serendipity, the festival led to the development of a docu-reality TV show. Having failed entirely to predict the future with any degree of accuracy, Jordan has finally made peace with his non-linear career. Que sara, sara.
