Bio & background

Jason Jeffrey is a Canadian commercial director and screenwriter currently working with Partizan in the US, UK, and France, and by Merchant in Canada. Known for story-driven cinematic comedy ranging from energetic to darkly absurd, Jeffrey's work roots unconventional concepts in realism through naturalistic dialogue and performance. His portfolio includes spots for Jägermeister, Instacart, Goldfish, Google, Amazon Fire TV, KFC, and Casino Days. His KFC campaign earned a Bronze Cannes Lions, while his Goldfish "Mega Bites" work with Zulu Alpha Kilo showcased meticulous practical effects—a fully functioning animatronic robot built by Laird FX. Jeffrey's "Save Florida Man" climate change initiative was an AdAge Editor's Pick. In narrative work, he won an Emerging Filmmaker Award at TIFF and was nominated for Best Narrative Short at Tribeca for "A Teachable Moment." His shorts "A Teachable Moment" and "Clown Face" earned Vimeo Staff Picks. Jeffrey has written for Netflix and is developing a feature film. Based in Toronto, he grew up on film sets as the son of a cinematographer, developing a focus on strong casting, performance, and structured storytelling. His recent collaborations with JOAN Creative, Zulu Alpha Kilo, and Wolfgang demonstrate precision in short-form comedy and breakthrough creative execution.
