Jason Ferus Blum (born February 20, 1969) is an American film and television producer.
He graduated from Vassar College in 1991.
While at Vassar, he and fellow future filmmaker Noah Baumbach were roommates, and Blum produced Baumbach's first film, Kicking and Screaming, in 1995.
Blum worked for Bob and Harvey Weinstein as an executive at Miramax, and later as an independent producer for Paramount Pictures.
Prior to his tenure at Miramax, Blum was a producing director at Ethan Hawke's Malaparte theater company.
He is a member of the board of trustees of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures.
He obtained financing for his first film as producer, Kicking and Screaming (1995), after receiving a letter from family acquaintance, entertainer Steve Martin, who endorsed the script.
Blum attached the letter to copies of the script he sent around to Hollywood executives.
In 2000, he founded Blumhouse Productions, which specializes in producing micro-budget movies that give directors full creative control over the projects.
Bloomberg News praised Blum for making "blockbusters for pennies", including the horror film Paranormal Activity which cost $15,000 to make and then grossed nearly $200 million.
In addition, NPR's Planet Money did a special podcast about the company's methods.
He is the founder and CEO of Blumhouse Productions, which produced the horror franchises Paranormal Activity (2007–2021), 'Insidious' (2010–2023), and The Purge (2013–2021), and Halloween (2018-2022).

Blum's feature films BlacKkKlansman, Whiplash and Get Out were all nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture.
In 2018, Blum said in an interview that the reason no woman had ever directed one of his horror films was that "there are not a lot of female directors (...) and even less who are inclined to do horror."
After much criticism on social media, in which lists of such directors were circulated, he apologized for what he called his "dumb comments".
In 2019, Sophia Takal directed and co-wrote the studio's horror remake Black Christmas, which opened on December 13, and was the studio's first theatrically-released film by a female director.
