Interested in in-betweenness, Jackson McKeehan writes and directs films, tv shows, and live performances that twist fact and fiction to create nuanced narratives around time, vulnerability, and connectivity.

Jackson was born in the mountains of Montana and raised on a farm in rural Missouri. After studying acting, he went on to pursue a career in fashion design. His menswear collection, Boyswear, received critical success for its juxtaposition of cultural references and visual punch. Since, McKeehan has installed controversial sex cushions in a bathhouse, developed relationships with strangers through classified ads, lived in disguise in his hometown, and worked as a gas station attendant in rustic Montana. Jackson’s design work has been featured in The New York Times, WWD, The LA Times, and more. His short film Blue, Diane is currently screening in festivals across the country, and Jackson is working on his second film project and writing a pilot.
