Donald G. Jackson Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Donald G. Jackson (April 24, 1943 – October 20, 2003) was an American filmmaker who is often referred to in the media as the Ed Wood of the video age. This delination was given due to the bizarre nature, content, and lack of defined storyline prevalent in his film and because virtually all of his films were harshly criticized by film critics.Born in Tremont, Mississippi, Jackson grew up in Adrian, Michigan. As an adult he struggled to become a filmmaker for many years while working at an auto factory. Finally, in the mid-1970s he made his first feature film, a horror film parody, The Demon Lover. This film was soon followed by the wrestling film, I Like to Hurt People. These films financed his move to Hollywood, California, where he remained until his death. Jackson is perhaps most well known for creating and directing the cult film, Hell Comes to Frogtown.Throughout his career Jackson worked with several filmmakers, including Roger Corman and James Cameron, but it was not until he began a long collaboration with American filmmaker Scott Shaw that the team created Zen Filmmaking. Zen Filmmaking is a distinct style of filmmaking where no scripts are used in the creation of a film.Jackson died of leukemia on 20 October 2003 and was interred in the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.

#Fact
1In order to make The Demon Lover, Don took sick leave from his job as a factory worker. When the company found out he was making a movie instead, they fired him.
2Worked in a factory with his friend and co-director Jerry Younkins. There was an accident in the factory and Jerry lost a couple of fingers. The insurance settlement was $8,000 which Don and Jerry quickly decided to use to cover some production costs for their first film, The Demon Lover.
