Jake Abraham is an American writer, director and editor based in Dallas, TX. Taking an interest in literature and American and international cinema, Jake strives to combine strong prose with the expressionist, cinematic scope of filmmaking. With a passion for telling personal, character driven stories, Jake is committed to translating not only unique images but unique ideas to screen.
After graduating from Allen High School in 2021, Jake immediately embarked on directing the short film Best Played Loud. He has worked on two television series, one as a production assistant on the CW's Walker in Austin Texas, and the second as a locations department assistant during the entirety of the series Lawmen: Bass Reeves on Paramount Plus. Since the completion of the Best Played Loud in 2022, Jake has been working to create more emotionally driven, compelling films in the coming years, namely his first professionally produced short entitled Daddy War Bucks, a SAG Micro Budget backed dramatic film, nominated for “Best Texas Short Film” at the Waco Independent Film Festival and the South Texas International Film Festival. In June of 2024, Jake attended the acclaimed Lee Strasberg Film and Theater Institute in New York City, and his Screenplay for “Ode to Joy” was accepted into the Rickshaw Film Foundation, a South Asian Film production program. Jake plans to begin production on his new short Camelot By Proxy in 2026.
