Jacob Moss

Jacob Moss was born in Port Chester, New York, and has lived in New Hampshire, Maine, Brooklyn, New Orleans, and Washington DC. He has a bachelor's degree in Human Geography, Middle Eastern Studies, and French from the University of New Hampshire. While living in Brooklyn, NY, Jacob worked for VICE News in video production, where he was an assistant producer on a documentary about trans-generational trauma in post-Troubles Northern Ireland, as well as several other smaller video and live productions. In Washington DC, he worked for an online TV station called Listen Vision as the head broadcast engineer and digital content manager. He racked up twenty hours per week of engineering live content, as well as producing music videos, promos and short news pieces. He also founded NUSIC: News+Music from Listen Vision, which focuses on catching musical celebrities on trips to DC, while at their most politically-minded, and interviewing them about current events. While at Listen Vision, he also became the digital curator of DC's Hip-Hop Museum, working with Hip-Hop legends like members of the Sugarhill Gang, Wu-Tang Clan, Biz Markie and Doug E. Fresh. From April 2019 to August 2020, he worked on creating a documentary entitled Immunotherapy: The Battle Within, the story of a man who stumbled upon an effective treatment for cancer in the 1890s and was mostly forgotten until 2018 when the treatment was re-worked and won the Nobel Prize. He worked on this project largely by himself-traveling, conducting interviews, shooting, editing, and sound mixing, single-handedly. Jacob is a driven and talented video journalist, activist, and artist who has a passion for justice, equitable public systems, sustainable practices and finding humanity among the bureaucracy. In his spare time, he plays guitar and drums, instructs yoga, mountain bikes, snowboards, travels, reads dystopian novels, and attends protests.
