After receiving a mysterious letter, a wayward son returns to his childhood home to wrestle with a dark family secret.
In 2016, Jayson reached out to local writers looking for a short film script he could produce and star in. His friends Lane Skye and her husband Ruckus Skye (The Devil to Pay) said they’d like to help. They met and asked Jayson, “What scares you?” He replied, “My parents getting old.” They replied, “We’ll get back to you.” Two weeks later they sent him a script called Ashes to Ashes which has now become Chipper.
After several false starts, the film was finally shot in June of 2022 and completed toward the end of that year. Jayson is now submitting the film to festivals worldwide. As of November of 2023, Chipper has been accepted by over twenty festivals and won several awards along the way.
