01.29.2012 - SDJ Productions was started in January 2004 by Bucks County resident Stanley D. Jacobs. Jacobs began acting and writing in 2001. Since that time he has appeared in over two dozen independent feature films and student film projects. He has also written two dozen feature length screenplays in various genres. A stint behind the camera as an Assistant Director, is where Jacobs found his true passion, film making. Mr. Jacobs hopes to bring more of his screenplays to the screen. He aspires to develop and produce at least one project each year.
