Jason Ross Jallet
Jason Ross Jallet (born 1981 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian film producer, and entrepreneur.
Producing[edit]
About a film producer having a crucial yet often misunderstood role in the movie-making business, Jallet revealed in a 2016 interview that, "I have close friends and family who don't even understand what I do."[1] He continued, "You're always solving problems," said Jallet. "A film is made three times. When you're writing it, when you're in production and shooting it, and then when you're editing it. They are equally as important, shaping how you tell the story." In the same interview he concluded, "You must have an eye for talent and quality so you find a script you think is going to be marketable," said Jallet. "The producer is a businessman and he's trying to manage a budget, a business, a financial structure and a plan and allow the creativity of a director to flow through and allow them as a storyteller to get their vision on a screen."
Background[edit]
Shortly after graduating from Trebas Institute's Film & TV Production Program in Montreal, Jallet, from 2005 to 2009, co-managed all affairs artistic and business at Ourson Films. He first joined the company in 2004 as a producer's representative for the international award winning film A Year in the Death of Jack Richards (2004). Prior to his producing career, Jallet worked variously as a writer, director, producer, cinematographer, and/or picture editor of many diverse corporate, performance, and vanity videos, pay-per-view television programs, and straight-to-video entertainment.[2]
Features[edit]
In 2008, Jallet co-established the Sudbury, Ontario-based production and distribution company Nortario Films,[3][4] and co-produced the acclaimed indie dramatic comedy The Woman of Ahhs: A Self-Portrait by Victoria Fleming.[5] In 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively, Jallet produced the first five of the planned nine chapters that comprise Perspective.[6][6][7][8][9] In 2016, he produced Nadia Litz's dramatic thriller The People Garden (2016), and Darwin (2015 film) (2015), a science fiction family film.[10][11] His most recent features as producer are the psychological drama The Anonymous Rudy S., Your Name Here, a feature-length docufiction that examines the art and craft of movie acting, and the desire for movie stardom, and the sci-fi horror Grim Trigger.
In addition to producing his own films, Jallet works variously as supervising producer, production manager, executive producer, production supervisor, co-producer, associate producer, etc. on a wide variety of other productions, including the Canadian indie comedic drama Jean of the Joneses featuring Emmy winner Sherri Shepherd, Golden Globe nominee Gloria Reuben, and Gemini nominee Demore Barnes,[12] the country music musical Country Crush,[13] and internationally celebrated director Kim Nguyen's romantic drama Two Lovers and a Bear, which premiered in the Directors Fortnight section of the Cannes Film Festival, featuring Golden Globe nominee Tatiana Maslany and BAFTA nominee Dane DeHaan.[14][15] Both Two Lovers and a Bear and Jean of the Joneses were nominated for Canadian Screen Awards.
Community Building[edit]
He joined the not-for-profit company Music, Film and Motion from 2010 to 2011 as Director of Programming.[16][17]
Since 2011, Jallet has been a member of the faculty of the Motion Picture Arts curriculum within the Fine Arts program at Laurentian University, and is a weekly guest commentator on the CBC Radio program Boreal Express, where he expresses his views on the film & television industry as it relates to Northern Ontario.[18][19]
In 2011, Jallet and filmmaker B. P. Paquette co-founded the Greater Sudbury-based not-for-profit company Northern Ontario Motion Picture Culture and Industry Development Corporation (NOMPCIDC, pronounced Nomp-see-dik), whose mandate is to develop and promote the film & television industry in Northern Ontario.[20] In 2012, NOMPCIDC launched Xanadu Studios, an equipment rental depot and post-production facility that services professional film and TV projects in Northern Ontario. Sound stages, for professional and training purposes, are currently in development.[21][22][23]
Since 2012, NOMPCIDC has partnered with Thorneloe University to offer unique film and TV production workshops for students. In 2016, the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund corporation (NOHFC) announced that it had partnered with NOMPCIDC and Thorneloe to offer these workshops. Students enrolled in the Motion Picture Arts (MPArts) curriculum within Thorneloe's Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) degree program can register for the workshops, which are a comprehensive, practice-based educational supplement. "It's to encourage students that they don't need millions of dollars, big movie stars and huge crews to make films," said Paquette. The general outcome of the production workshops is that students experience working under the guidance of professional filmmakers in a professional context, which will allow students to further develop and gain more confidence in their practical work skills, receive credit for their work that they can add to their resume, network with professional filmmakers, and receive a reference letters from a professional filmmakers under whom they shadowed and/or assisted.[24]
