Greg Jacobs was 12 years old when he decided to become a filmmaker. During his summer and winter breaks at NYU he worked as a tennis pro at country clubs around New Jersey collecting stories that would later inspire his Amazon series Red Oaks.

After college, he quickly rose through the ranks becoming an assistant director and/or producer for the Coen Brothers, John Schlesinger, and Richard Linklater, amongst others. He quickly put on every hat he could and created a multi-versatile writing, producing, directing, and show-running career. His longest collaboration has been with his friend Steven Soderbergh. His creative works deal with the juxtaposition of real people in incredible circumstances and he’s had a hand in everything from the Oscar-winning film Traffic to The Edge of Tomorrow. Greg received a DGA award, an Emmy and a Golden Globe for his work on Behind The Candelabra and received the Peabody Award for The Knick.
