JASON ZADA WILL SCARE THE BEJESUS OUT OF YOU

Working Not Working January 15, 2016

JASON ZADA WILL SCARE THE BEJESUS OUT OF YOU


Cheers to WNW Member #5385 Jason Zada, whose first feature film, The Forest, just hit theaters on Friday. 

Previously, Jason started the renowned digital advertising agency Evolution Bureau (EVB). He has directed broadcast and digital projects for the likes of Wieden + Kennedy, CP+B, and Sid Lee, and is the mind behind Facebook's terrifying viral sensation TakeThisLollipop.

It turns out "terrifying" is a sharpened skill in Jason's toolshed. The premise to The Forest: A woman goes into Japan's Suicide Forest to find her twin sister, and confronts supernatural terror.

Jason is returning intrigue to the same forest explored last year by Gus Van Sant, but this time to both horrifying effect and box office success. The Forest, starring Natalie Dormer from Game of Thrones, has already earned $15 million in under a week. Not a bad way to kick off the New Year.
