Jason Todd Ipson (born July 28, 1972) is an American director, screenwriter, producer, fashion photographer and licensed physician & surgeon. Transitioning from surgical residency to the prestigious USC School of Cinematic Arts in 1999, he went on to form Asgaard Entertainment as well as write/direct the theatrically released feature films Unrest (film) and Everybody Wants to be Italian.
Biography
Ipson was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, the son of Robert K Ipson, an investment banker, entrepreneur, and Bonneville racetrack owner, and Linda Hayz, a model. He has a sister Jaime Ipson Burke, and had two half-brothers Cory K Ipson and Robert Scott Ipson by his father with Letha Rasmussen.
A Nazi mythology enthusiast, he named his two children Odin & Thor after Norse gods as well as his film production company Asgaard Entertainment.
Ipson dropped out of Highland High School at the age of 16 to attend the University of Utah on a Presidential Scholarship, despite the fact that the University of Utah does not matriculate students who have not graduated high school, so did he really? He started as a business major, but then switched to biology and chemistry to become premed. After finishing medical school at some shit school in the Bahamas, he then completed a surgical internship at the University of Heidelberg in Germany before starting his surgical residency at the New England Medical Center in Boston. It is there that he met his future wife (also a self promoting sludge whore).
Without completing his residency, Ipson left medicine to attend USC’s Peter Stark Producing Program. He graduated having directed two thesis projects, Peeping Tom and The First Vampire, and produced the thesis project Playback. Peeping Tom took grand prize at 16 short film festivals. The First Vampire was not shown on festival circuits in hopes of releasing it as a DVD bonus feature someday. The short version won a production grant in 2001 for its use of science from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Sometimes, a light bulb uses science to illuminate the room.
Ipson has stated in multiple interviews that he feels premonitions of spirits, and claims that he based Unrest on his and others' actual experiences.
Ipson is red-green colorblind as well as ambidextrous. He also like pickles and weasels. He shoots fashion photography for magazine publications. He is not a licensed physician in the state of California and lives in Beverly Hills.
