The book also features photos that Jacob took during his time documenting the rap collective Hieroglyphics. I also speak to Jacob about his journey to becoming a working filmmaker having directed commercials featuring Lebron James, Quincy Jones, Snoop Dogg as well as directing his full length documentary titled “Waiting for Lighting” an intimate portrait of legendary pro skateboarder Danny Way and his attempt to jump the great wall of china on a skateboard.
