  • Doctor’s Dream, The

    Jacobs has restructured an existing film, “The Doctor,” into “The Doctor’s Dream”. The new film starts with the shot which was numerically the middle shot in the old film.

  • Post Card

    “POST CARD” is a love letter in black-and-white film. It was shot over a five-year period during which time Beatriz and I made several moves before separating.
