Jacob McAuliffe (filmmaker)

Jacob McAuliffe is a student filmmaker, and the creator and manager of Chaos Productions. He has written and directed numerous movies under his production label. He was born in 1993 and currently is a Television and Film Arts major at Bufffalo State College in Buffalo, NY.

Jacob has been making movies since hs was in second grade. His first notable movie was The New Kid, a horror film starring Sean Maruscsak and Ian Sager. It was shown in the first annual Ballston Spa Film Festival. A year later, Jacob's comedy Detention showed in the second annual Ballston Spa Film Festival and the Electric City Film Festival.

Jacob first envisioned the first How to be a Good AP History Student when in 10th grade, he was given and assignment by his AP World History teacher to make a film about how to be a good AP History student. Rather than make a simple informative video, Jacob created a legitimate movie, which while not getting a good grade, spawned an online success and led to two sequals.

Jacob has also acted in several movies, both his and by other production companies, mostly in THE Productions films. Some of his most notable roles are Jake in the Jake and Eric series, the Redneck in The Lamp, Jake in Guns for Hire, and Jake in Killer Ball .5.

He is also known for his contributions to films directed by Schenectady NY director Mike Fuerstein, working on the crew of several short films and the webseries eScape.

Recently, Jacob has also began writing music for his films. He wrote the scores for Woods Hollow (remake), Jake and Eric: Friendly Advice, The Tale of a Dog Chew Toy, and will contribute a song to the next season of eScape.

Despite Jacob's rising prominence as an advocate of fair trade, he is known as a draconian tyrant by his actors. He is not above resorting to physical violence in order to get a scene done the way he wants. He has also made it publically clear that he hates crew members, considering them inferior human beings.

Controversy arose in the Summer of 2011 when Jacob was accused of having directed the 2006 film Blast Off, one of the few films considered worse than The Arab Witch Project. Jacob disputes claims that the film is real, despite evidence existing to the contrary.
