Jackson Brink is an aspiring voice in the world of filmmaking, with a dedication to crafting narratives that inspire, challenge, and celebrate the human experience.

In 2023, Jackson graduated from Lee's Summit West High School, in Missouri. He then attended Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Film and Television. He is currently a sophomore there and is working towards becoming a screenwriter and/or director, among other film interests.

Their passion for storytelling began in childhood, but it was in 2018 that their journey gained momentum. Since then, Jackson has created the breakout short films Landline and Imperfect, culminating in their debut feature film, The Relics.

Named the 2022 Writer and Director of the Year by the OUR PRIDE Short Film and Arts Festival, Jackson’s work exemplifies a commitment to authentic storytelling and the elevation of underrepresented perspectives within the LGBTQ+ Community.

As a featured participant in the festival, Jackson is honored to collaborate with a vibrant community of creatives who share a passion for diversity and artistic expression.

MELOMANIACS In this toe-tapping eighties jukebox musical comedy, Eileen - a teenage melomaniac with a heart full of tunes - spends one last unforgettable summer with her best friends Roxie, Phoebe, and Kim.

Together, they chase their dreams, navigate high school crushes (especially Eileen’s for the school heartthrob, Tony), and discover the true power of friendship, self-love, and music that binds them all.
