Jacob Staudenmaier is a Phoenix-born filmmaker. He loves jazz music. And has enjoyed a life-long obsession with Legos.
In 2017, he got his first taste of the entertainment industry when his Junior Year “Promposal” to Emma Stone went viral. The video accumulated nearly 1.5 million views on YouTube, 4 million impressions on Twitter, and landed him on shows like Good Morning America and Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Since then, he’s worked hard to avoid being just another guy who “peaked in high school” by putting deeply personal, yet highly entertaining creative work into the world.
His films have played at festivals like NFFTY and the Beverly Hills Film Festival. His debut feature, “Chasing Sundance” was distributed by FreeStyle Digital Media and is currently available on platforms like Amazon Prime and Apple TV. Most recently, he produced and starred in a Late-Night style talk show that aired in front of a live audience. At the end of the day though, he just wants to make you laugh!
Staudenmaier graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a BFA in Film & Television Production. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
