During his third year at USC, Jarrett was trained by Academy Award winning director Robert Zemeckis (Beowulf, Forrest Gump) in state of the art performance capture directing techniques which he plans to incorporate in his feature filmmaking. Jarrett is currently in post-production on his thesis short film, “TURBO”, starring Justin Chon (Twilight, Crossing Over), Jocko Sims (Crash “the series”, Dreamgirls) and internet superstar David Lehre (Myspace: the Movie, Epic Movie). Shot on the Red ONE Camera, the film tells the story of teenagers who compete in a photo-realistic fighting videogame for a chance at fame and corporate sponsorship. Jarrett is currently writing the feature script with Wonder Woman screenwriter, Brent Strickland. This year, Jarrett was selected from 600+ directors as a finalist for the Disney ABC TV Director’s Fellowship. He is also a recipient of the 2008-2009 Film Independent Project: Involve fellowship and will begin his directing mentorship in November.
