About this user

Emmy awarding winning director/producer Jake Gorst has is the president of Jonamac Productions. Films to his credit include Leisurama (2005), Farmboy (2006), and Desert Utopia, Mid-Century Architecture in Palm Springs (2006). He also serves as Director of Photography and Editor on most projects.
Of Leisurama, New York Times writer Alastair Gordon said, "Jake Gorst's documentary film...is a compelling look at American culture in the 1950s and 1960. While the filmmaker has chosen to focus on an amusing marketing concept in affordable housing, he goes out of his way to explain the broader cultural implications of the Cold War and US-style capitalism. Leisurama is a refreshing look at an important era without the usual clichés."
Other recent film contributions include the direction of an animated sequence for the film "Keeping It Alive" by Murray Bruce Productions and associate production on "Andrew Geller: A Spatial Encounter" (2003, Gallery HD)and "Beyond the Beach: The Life and Death of Norman Jaffe" (in production, The Jaffe Foundation).
Gorst is an architectural historian and preservationist. He serves as an adjunct professor at Long Island University teaching historical perspectives as part of the Hutton House Lecture Series.
Gorst is also a contributing writer for VOX and Modernism magazines.
