Jason Allen Goodlin

Jason Allen Goodlin was born in Bangkok, Thailand on December 5, 1975 to his "United States Air Force" father and Thai mother. He is half Caucasian and half Thai. His military father got stationed in Eglin Air Force Base and Osan Air Force Base before Jason turned 2 years old. In 1978, military orders to Travis Air Force Base guided Jason and his parents to Northern California. In the 5th grade, Jason started running long distance road races with his father. He competed in middle distance track events and cross country races in junior high, up until high school. Although Jason failed to transfer his fast training times into winning section meets and reaching California State competition, he learned the value of discipline, effort, focus and passion. The summer blockbuster movies released in 1994, such as Speed, Forrest Gump and Lion King, inspired Jason to chase after his Hollywood dream. Jason joined the United States Air Force as a medical technician to serve his country. He focused on gaining valuable life experiences that would lead him to fulfill his purpose in life--becoming a Hollywood writer who can influence countless people. Jason is proud to be a United States Air Force Veteran. His passion for screenwriting began at DeAnza College, where he earned an Associate of Arts in Film. Nevertheless, he graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara, earning a Bachelor of Arts in Film & Media Studies in 2007. Furthermore, he worked as an entertainment content writer for PacificMedia Films, writing four commercials in which three got screened in Bay Area movie theaters. Jason has freelanced as a copywriter to prepare for his screenwriting dream. While working as an Uber driver, Jason turned his trip experiences into what is now The Request (2020) After reconnecting with John W. Kim in 2016, his former film instructor and current director and co-screenwriter, the vision for The Request (2020) took flight. As a writer and producer of The Request (2020), Jason has future aspirations to direct films. In his pursuit to inspire future generations, he is ready to share his powerful stories with the world.
