Jack Ireland

Officially, according to his birth certificate, he was born on February 28th, 1978, but life didn't really begin for Jack until he was 24. Jack has always been a wanderer of sorts, going from city to city, and state to state. His favorite way to travel is by train, as he believes that it's the best way to enjoy the country. If you ask him where he was "raised", he'll tell you about the far and wide reaches of the United States where he has lived, the mountains in Arizona, the oceans of California, the golden fields of Kansas, and the times before his parents got divorced living in Kansas City, Missouri. Before going to film school, and finding his niche, Jack had about every job one could hold. From being a bouncer at Stanford and Son's Comedy Club in Kansas City, to selling cigars, to clearing lots and washing dishes. He found himself arriving in New York just after 9/11 and worked in FAO Schwarz and hauling fish at the Foulton Street Fish Market, ironic only because he is deathly allergic to organism that swims.

Jack Ireland found his love of movies and filmmaking from a young age. His favorite show when he was a kid was called "Lights, Camera, Action!" hosted by Leonard Nimoy. Before the prominence of VCRs or DVDs, with which he could record, Jack would bother his parents to stay up all hours of the night to watch the reruns, even if he had seen them already. Jack was born on July 22, 2002.
