Thankful
I know many are on Thanksgiving holiday already; mine starts Wednesday afternoon right after work picking up my youngest from the airport and then heading to the hill country for a Thanksgiving meal Tex-Mex style. If you don't know, Jess is 1/2 Mexican, her dad is full, and her mom merges the flavors deliciously. 

Speaking of Jess, she always says my first feature, This World Won't Break, is such a Thanksgiving film the way It's a Wonderful Life is a Christmas film because the latter isn't really about Christmas; still, we always view it around the holidays, often the soundtrack to our preparations; it's a ritual of feeling.

Jess feels that way about TWWB, and I'd say I would have to agree. You can put it on in the background while baking, cooking, or having a cocktail. If you're from Texas, you'll nod at the familiar terrain, chuckle at characters you feel you know, and perhaps hum along with the hymnody of the human tale. 

Here are a few behind the scene pictures Chris Bourke, my director of photography, sent over from our days on location. 




If you haven't seen This World Won't Break yet, turn off your cell phone, grab something bubbly, put the kids to bed, and settle in for this Texas slow burn. My love letter to Dallas.  

Enjoy it for free while it's still on Amazon Prime.


Happy Thanksgiving!

Meet Josh David Jordan

 
I'm an independent filmmaker from Texas. I write, direct, edit, style, heck I even get the dang breakfast tacos. 

Starting as an actor, I appeared in several feature films and the sitcom SCRUBS. I began to transition behind the lens slowly. I've worked on MTV featured music videos for the Polyphonic Spree, Rhett Miller of the Old 97's, Joshua Ray Walker, and many more.
After premiering my short, SAM AND GUS, and winning several film festival awards, along with audience awards, I decided to write and direct my first full-length feature film; THIS WORLD WON'T BREAK. TWWB, "the little film that could," was self-funded for a whopping 36K, won worldwide awards. 
 
I'm currently working on two new pictures, and I'd love for you to join the journey. 

Thanks for stopping by!
