Jacob Hayman(I)

Jacob Hayman got his first paid job on set directly from the legendary Roger Corman. Eventually serving as an intern at Eclectic Pictures and Partos Co., he then wrote industry-related articles for GeekNation before becoming a feature Casting Assistant to Jan Glaser, commercial Casting Coordinator for Clio-winner Terry Berland, and unscripted Casting Associate under Artios Award-nominee Katy Wallin. He was also a participant in the Casting Society's BIPOC Alliance alongside Artios Award-winner Stephanie Holbrook in 2020, and was partnered with Wheelhouse DNA's Adden Laughlin Silverman for the HRTS' own mentorship program in 2021. After a brief stint as an Executive Assistant at Endorse Management Group, he was asked to join the ranks of Citizen Skull Productions as a Junior Literary Manager in late 2022. Since June 2025, he has been serving as an interim Executive at David Hebrero's Nostalgia Shop Films banner.

Features for which he served as Casting Director have won 'Feature Drama' and 'New Visions' at Cinequest 2022 (Trust), as well as 'Best Actress' at the 2023 DTLA Film Festival (This Is Your Song), while Wine Club was nominated twice for 'Best Actor', and once for 'Best Comedy Feature' at Kevin Smith's 2023 Smodcastle Film Festival. Additionally, he was the Production Coordinator on Katie's Mom, which won 'Best Fusion Feature' from Dances With Films. His short film producing debut, the body horror comedy Fudgie Freddie, screened at Beyond Fest and was nominated for 'Best Midnight Short' and 'Best Actor' at FilmQuest. His most recent casting credit, Taboo, premiered at Cinequest in 2025.

A fan of maximalist trash and minimalist beauty, he'd love to bring more silliness and heart into the world before it explodes.
