A 33-year-old native
New Yorker, Jason Sokoloff more commly known as "JSOK" grew
up against the gritty urban backdrop of Brooklyn/Queens in the 1970's
and 80's. A one time graffiti artist, successful art director and seasoned
veteran of the city's infamously tough stand-up comedy circuit, Jason
draws the core of his inspiration from a rich childhood, spent often
between the city's best museums and its most seedy racetracks.
Jason has over ten years of experience in the entertainment industry, with an emphasis on art direction, production, and marketing. He has produced advertisements and other collateral materials tailored to clients in the publishing, music, film, and advertising industries. His production credits include over 200 live comedy shows. His monthly comedic storytelling show, “Urban Myth”, co-produced with DC Benny, has received extensive press coverage and attracts great talent to the stage that includes Jim Norton, Dave Chapelle and Jim Gaffigan. Jason was also the producer and co-director of a short comedy pilot that was featured in the Montreal Comedy Festival and his short film “Treasure of Riverside Park” was recently featured at Lincoln Center and has currently been played at 17 festivals in the states and abroad. Most recently Jason was the line producer on the feature film “Heterosexuals”. As a strong proponent of independent filmmaking and comedy, Jason’s spirit carries many. He is currently working on several short films, and feature scripts while pursuing his M.F.A. at New York University’s graduate film program.
