Jared Malin | Producer
As an extremely organised individual with acute attention to detail, and most importantly, the ability to hustle on small budgets and tight deadlines, there is no doubt production is in his blood. Jared has over 15 years’ experience in the film industry, after starting his career with a working holiday of freelance gigs in Toronto. He has spent the last decade honing his talents at Groundglass and is an integral part of the team, with unrivalled experience in managing strange demands and even the most difficult of clients.
