Synopsis : Though he's the son of a local legend and beloved fisherman, HUGHIE HACKETT hasn't exactly lived up to the family's name. Frustrated that his uncle is about to sell the family company but too familiar with cheating his way through life to do anything about it legally, Hughie forms a misguided plan to pretend that a simple-minded man is his long-lost brother, the key to his father's will.

The short played at Telefilm’s Not Short on Talent at Claremont-Ferrand, France, and then screened on HBO Canada. Jason is currently in post-production on the feature A Small Fortune. The feature thriller set on PEI is a NFLD-PEI co-production supported by Telefilm, Superchannel, Innovation PEI, and the Newfoundland Film Development Corporation. A Small Fortune is set for release in 2020. He has also been involved in popular web series productions including Just Passing Through as a writer and Leafs Beefs as a creator.
