Jason Ensler is an American director, producer, and screenwriter.
Early life
Jason Ensler attended Brandeis University where he earned a BA in Politics and Theater.[2][3] He graduated from the USC School of Cinematic Arts with an MFA in Cinema/Television production.
Career
Ensler began his work in television as a director at NBC 2000, a division of NBC promo. He designed launch campaigns for The West Wing, Scrubs, Frasier, Third Watch, the Olympics, and the National Basketball Association. He wrote and directed The Zucker Follies, a musical mockumentary starring Megan Mullally, Martin Sheen, and Sean Hayes.[4]
Ensler’s first film was Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Three's Company for NBC, which documents the set of the show Three's Company. He has since directed and executive produced the pilots for Andy Barker, P.I., Franklin & Bash, Hart of Dixie, Cult, The Passage, Monarch, and Wolf Pack, among others. He served as executive producer and series director on Fox's The Exorcist and on all three seasons of Love, Victor on Hulu and Disney+.
His other television directing credits include Scrubs, The West Wing, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Kath & Kim, Sirens, Hostages, The Newsroom, Will Trent, and The Old Man.[5] He is an executive producer and director on season two of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.[6]
Documentaries
Ensler is on the executive board of Shifting Baselines, a think tank and production entity founded and run by Randy Olson, that seeks to find more effective ways of communicating science to the public. Ensler produced, directed and edited IRIS, a documentary for the Children's Hospital Los Angeles about retinoblastoma, a rare form of children's eye cancer, which was effective in passing legislation in California for early detection. He produced, directed, and edited Farewell, My Subaru, a short documentary about author Doug Fine and his carbon-neutral lifestyle in rural New Mexico.[7]
