Bio:
Jacob Bricca is a film editor, director, and teacher. He is the editor of Lost in La Mancha, a feature documentary about Terry Gilliam's ill-fated attempt to make a film adaptation of Don Quixote, which is distributed by IFC Films and continues its theatrical run in film houses across the country. He also edited Jimmy Scott: If You Only Knew, a feature documentary about the famed jazz singer that has won rave reviews in Variety and the Los Angeles Times and is scheduled to appear on PBS's Independent Lens in December 2003. Other recent editing credits include Beyond The Border, a PBS documentary about a community of Mexican immigrants in Lexington, Kentucky, and What A Girl Wants, a short about the media's impact on girls' self-image (which he also co-directed) that is currently used in media education programs throughout the country. As director, he has meditated on the power of the moving image in All Of It, documented angst-filled teens in Nothing, and lost himself in abstract imagery in a variety of experimental shorts. He has an MFA in Film Editing from the American Film Institute, and a BA in Film Studies and Sociology from Wesleyan University. He currently divides his time between filmmaking and teaching, holding a post as Visiting Assistant Professor of Film Studies at Wesleyan University.
