The average Film & TV Producer spends 4 hours a day searching for valuable information that could have been found instantly with a good spreadsheet. The stress and anxiety associated with this lack of efficiency reduces the life expectancy of Producers by as many as 5 years.*

Who is Jacob Bittens?
(and what the heck does he know?)
Jacob Bittens is a Producer for film, television, and photography based in New York City. His experience ranges from projects large & small, local & international, big budget & no budget. His passion for filmmaking has taken him all over the world, and through a variety of different departments, yielding a well-rounded “Producer’s Producer.” He has held staff positions at some of the biggest names in the industry, including Anheuser-Busch and Glass Entertainment, and brings with him years of work both on set and remote. His wide network and love of custom spreadsheets have made him a reliable asset on every job. Recently he served as Line Producer on HGTV’s hit shows Christina on the Coast and its spinoff series Christina in the Country, as well as Lead Producer on the latest feature film from director Alan Brown, Friends and Foes.
“In 20 years of filmmaking, I've rarely encountered anyone as multi-talented, insightful, capable, and honest as Jacob. He brings a lively intelligence and creative vision to every task. And he is a pleasure to work with. If I could, I would hire him on all of my films.”
