Individually Wrapped Films was founded by Mark Jacobs, a filmmaker whose journey began behind a news camera and carried him across war zones, front lines, and the quiet corners of human experience where real stories live. With decades in broadcast journalism and documentary filmmaking, Mark learned early that the most powerful stories are often the ones that risk being forgotten.
His work, spanning global conflicts, transformational movements, and the lives of ordinary people who accomplish extraordinary things, is driven by a singular conviction: the world needs markers. Without them, we lose the reminder of how far we’ve come and the legacy of those whose courage shaped the path ahead.
Mark created Individually Wrapped Films to serve that purpose. Rooted in ethical, in-depth storytelling, his approach blends journalistic integrity, cinematic craft, and a deep respect for every life and legacy entrusted to the lens. For Mark, filmmaking is not just creative expression; it is stewardship. It is the responsibility to honor the people who lifted society forward and to illuminate the needs still waiting to be met.
From pioneering visionaries like James O. Page to champions of resilience, justice, and hope across the world, Mark’s calling is to preserve the stories that matter most, the ones that inspire, instruct, and remind future generations of what courage actually looks like.
Every film is made with humility.
Every story is held with reverence.
Every legacy is treated as a gift.

Every legacy is treated as a gift.
This is the heart behind Individually Wrapped Films:
to remember, to reveal, and to never let the marker fade.
