Jesse is an extraordinarily talented and bright individual with an incredibly deep understanding of all aspects of the creative process. His instincts regarding story and structure are simply unparalleled within the industry. He also happens possess an encyclopedic knowledge of film, television, literature, music and comic books/graphic novels. These qualities, coupled with his exceptional ability to communicate comments and critiques clearly and constructively, make Jesse an ideal collaborator for writers, directors, producers and other creative individuals. He also has a real gift for galvanizing people and is able to lead a team under even the most complicated or strenuous of circumstances, always in a highly organized yet always positive and upbeat manner. I found Jesse an inspiring mentor and colleague during my years at Miramax and Dimension, and anyone who has the opportunity to work with him is very lucky indeed.

I met Jesse early in our careers at Valiant Comics in New York and was immediately impressed with his storytelling skills and ability to work with and nurture creative talent. He had an enormous impact on me, even getting me to take Robert McKee's seminar years before McKee was a household name. He went on to apply those skills at Miramax, and I always thought how lucky they were to have someone as insightful yet grounded as Jesse. I would gladly work with him again if the opportunity presented itself, and heartily recommend him to anyone in need of a good storyteller and keen judge of what makes a story work and how to turn a good idea into a great story well told.
