BEHIND THE SCENES

ABOUT EDGE OF THE ROAD

Edge of The Road is a production company that I started in order to create a variety of different film projects under one name.

The name 'Edge of the Road' comes from my love of hitchhiking, as well as the core philosophy of EOTR: never staying in the same place for too long i.e. exploring different film genres, mediums and tones.

ABOUT ME

My name is Jacob, I am an animator, VFX artist and filmmaker from Leeds. I studied film production at Arts University Bournemouth and now live in Brighton.
