Studying filmmaking and screenwriting since early high school, Jackson Cooperman has been a visual artist for over ten years. He is an auteur filmmaker specializing in directing, producing, editing, sound design, and cinematography. Beginning with simple home video projects, he started off as a self- taught filmmaker, and later attended film school in August, 2016.
Cooperman attended Eastern New Mexico University in Portales, NM where he studied film in a closely-knit and hands-on environment. His senior thesis short film, WreckVlogs, won the Best Student Filmmaker award at the 2021 ShockFest™ film festival in Los Angeles, CA.
In 2024, Cooperman returned to his hometown of Millington, New Jersey, where he began development on his first feature-film, Daydream, a coming-of age drama where he reflected on the innocence of childhood and in particular, memories of his sixth grade language arts teacher, who ended up portraying herself in the film.
