Discover Dunwoody Announces Second Quarter Award Recipient
Jackson's fascination with film began early, captivated not just by stories on screen, but by how they were made. That curiosity turned into the start of a career in 1996 when he worked as a Production Assistant on the ABC miniseries “The Shining” while living in Colorado. This experience led Jackson to study Broadcast Journalism and TV Production at the University of Mississippi, where he also anchored the campus news and hosted a classic rock radio show.
Discover Dunwoody proudly recognizes Jackson Giles as the Distinguished Production Associate for Quarter 2 of 2025. Previously honored as our May recipient, Jackson’s continued excellence and leadership made him the clear choice for this quarterly award.
Jackson’s journey into the film industry began in 1996 as a Production Assistant on the ABC miniseries “The Shining.” From there, he pursued a degree in Broadcast Journalism and TV Production, anchored his campus news, and launched his own company producing local commercials and television content. That entrepreneurial experience laid the foundation for his transition into full-time film work, where he found his calling as a Production Travel Coordinator.
