Jacob Diedenhofer

Hello everyone I’m Jacob! I am a recent college graduate who lives right outside of Cincinnati Ohio. I’ve been a film lover ever since I saw La La Land at 14 years old in 2016 (crazy it’s been almost 10 years!) and I just love everything about this industry from the Oscars, Film Festivals, News, Blockbusters, Indies, you name it. I’m very grateful to be joining this team!
