Jared Cardon

From College of Fine Arts and Communications

Jared Cardon graduated from BYU in August 2007 with a degree in Media Arts Studies.

In 2008, Cardon’s short-film Customer Service won the Third-Place in the LDS Film Festival. Customer Service, which was made with fellow alumni Emily Moffat and Jackson Barlow, was submitted to the 24-Hour Filmmaking Marathon Division of the festival. The guidelines for the division were that the entire film had to be made within a 24-hour period, carry a theme of compassion, use a band-aid as a prop, and incorporate the dialogue, “Could you please . . .”

During the spring of 2008, Cardon participated in the Tribeca Film Festival, a fesitval aimed at celebrating film-making in New York City. Cardon's thoughts on the experience, as well as a video documenting it, are recorded on his blog.

Cardon also wrote the film Nth Sector, which was accepted into the Beverly Hills Hi-Def Film Fest in 2008.
