Jaffar Mahmood [Jah-fur Ma-mood] was born and raised in Toms River, New Jersey. He received his B.A. in Economics from Tufts University and his M.F.A. from The Peter Stark Producing Program USC.

Executive produced by Jake Kasdan (New Girl), the independent film stars Zachary Levi (Chuck) and won awards at film festivals around the world.

In 2013, Jaffar was a member of the inaugural Warner Bros. Directors’ Workshop. From there he directed/created Courtside, a short comedic web series that got the attention of executives at HBO.
