What clients say

Bad Buddha has come to our video rescue numerous times — flawless editing, and elegantly suggesting a better edit than what I had in mind.

I’ve worked with many talented craftspeople, but none as gifted as Jacob — creative solutions, integrity, and calm under pressure.

Production & Direction

Need the whole thing made? I direct and produce commercials, long format television, and documentaries, and bring in the exact crew your project calls for. You get a 25-year director running point, on set and then in the cut.

Bad-ass post

Already shot? I'm the senior editor and finisher that businesses trust when it has to be right. Editorial, color, sound, and motion graphics under one roof.

About — Jacob Max Nasim

When you hire
Bad Buddha,
I'm your guy.

I'm Jacob Max Nasim. For 25 years I've directed and cut video for Silicon Valley startups, major corporations, many a television station, and one kangaroo. I work on commercials, brand videos, broadcast dramatic recreation and documentaries. What clients come back for, sometimes for decades, is simple: a producer/director/senior editor who's personally on their project from kickoff to first cut through final delivery.

BAD BUDDHA CREATIVE by day,
GOOD, healthy gourmet by night.

high protein diet!?"
