Howdy, y’all! My name is Jax Stafford and I’m a freelance writer and filmmaker from Austin. I’m currently at Texas State University working to finish my degree in journalism.

I’ve worked in the local film industry for a few years, doing low budget indie movies, commercials and a bit of TV.  I own a production company called Nickel Slick, for which I write and develop corporate websites and videos.  I’ve been coding in HTML since the early 2000s and I’m hoping to use this class to hone my development skills to a fine, deadly point.

As far as spare time goes, I don’t have much, but I like music — both listening to and composing it (I’m very much an amateur), watching movies, writing short stories, drawing, swimming, long walks on the beach, etc.

My future career will be something in video production and I’d like to shoot documentaries as well as my own films.  Last year, I started working with both the Escoffier Culinary School and a new local food magazine developing a web series called Texas Food Crawlers.

I have a Twitter account at @jaxstafford and also a Facebook page.  I’m looking forward to meeting and collaborating with all you talented people!
