The most important thing I've learned about being a filmmaker in Sacramento is that the CFAA has your back. I'm just getting started with my journey, but at every turn, CFAA has been there with information, connections, and most importantly, encouragement.
I highly recommend you join so you don't get left behind. Thanks, CFAA!

Jo Haskin
Executive in Charge of Production at Jane Doe Films

Jo is a hometown girl who grew up in Loomis, went to Sac State, and has lived in Roseville for her adult life, and now she has dual residences here and in Los Angeles to accommodate her creative career. It's what dreams are made of. She and her writer husband Kevin both left successful career positions at Hewlett Packard - jumping from that corporate ship to pursue a new path in filmmaking.

Jo started off as a PA, then co-producing her husband Kevin's first short film script 'Training Wheels', and then soon they were producing feature length scripts 'Rogue River' and 'Sensored'. All the while Jo was honing her skills and stepping out on the ledge to try new things along the way as a Line Producer, Location Manager, Show Runner, etc. Her professional background has also included stints in reality TV content as a producer on TreeHouse Masters and Duck Dynasty, and documentary filmmaking with Ricky Schroder Productions (My Fighting Season, The Volunteers).

Jo recently joined ranks with Jane Doe Films as Executive in Charge of Production in 2020. JDF current projects include the Emmy Nominated, Allen v. Farrow (HBO) and currently in production on a 4-part series for HBO Max, "Not So Pretty," an investigative look into the beauty industry. Previous films include, On The Record, The Bleeding Edge, The Hunting Ground, andThe Invisible War.

She also is pleased to announce the feature film, Rushed was released worldwide on August, 27, 2021 and is currently available on all platforms and limited theaters. Written and produced by Siobhan Fallon Hogan (Saturday Night Live, Holes, New In Town, Men In Black, Forrest Gump), who also stars in the film, and Jo was the Line Producer and Co-Producer on the film.

RUSHED is the story of Barbara O’Brien, an Upstate NY, Irish Catholic mother. She says her rosary daily, then swears profusely as she drives her kids to school teaching them about life. Barbara’s life is ruined when her son Jimmy, a freshman in college, is in a fraternity hazing incident. After weeks of mourning, she travels cross country videotaping other mothers who have also lost sons to hazing. Her mission is to go to Washington and show the tapes to Senator Daly, her husband’s old frat brother. He promises to help prevent anymore hazing deaths. When Barbara discovers Daly is corrupt and never intended to help, she seeks revenge on the one person she finds liable in her son’s death.

Starring Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Robert Patrick (Terminator 2) with Peri Gilpin from Frazer, Jake Weary from Animal Kingdom.
