William Jacobs
Peoria, Illinois, United States
Founder and Filmmaker Behind Mourning Dove Films
William grew up making films. His history with cinema began at the age of nine creating stop-motion animations with toy figurines. Having made dozens of short films in the span of fifteen years, William turned to the tradition of cinema using the 16mm film format with great interest in the asceticism of celluloid filmmaking. He is currently embarking upon the creation of his debut feature film, Poet in a Modern World, which follows two artists wandering through modernity’s spiritual desert.
