Jared maintains the fundamental belief that content is king, and to that end he imbues his works with tenderness, subtlety, and intensity, striving tirelessly to emphasize what makes art meaningful: honest emotion.
Film
After graduating in mid-2008 from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts with a degree in film production, Jared Scheib returned to his hometown of Dallas, Texas and founded Life's Waltz Productions LLC for the purpose of creating his first feature documentary film, The Mayor. As director, producer, cinematographer, and editor of The Mayor, Jared completed it in March 2011 and attended the world premiere at Tel Aviv, Israel's DocAviv Film Festival in May 2011 and the North American premiere at Fort Worth, Texas' Lone Star International Film Festival in November 2011.

Fine Art
In late 2009, Jared began working with friend and artist Cecelia Webber to promote her art. In early 2011, the pair formed Cecelia Webber Art, LLC, and Jared formally began doing promotion, sales, and management for her. Cecelia has sold through Barneys New York in NYC and been published in Angeleno in Los Angeles, Vanity Fair in Italy, ELLE in Mexico, designboom, and many other international publications including in the USA, UK, Italy, Mexico, China, Taiwan, Turkey, Sweden, and South Korea.

Solo Performance
In August 2011, Jared directed and helped develop his first play for the stage, Wrestles With Machista, a 75-minute one-man play written and performed by Alon Lagstein, produced by Debra Ehrhardt, and also developed with Eric Trules, about a Jewish boy who struggles to become a man under the pressure of his family heritage. Selling out two of the first three shows, Wrestles With Machista earned Goldstar's "Roar of the Crowd" distinction after only three shows, reserved for the highest member-rated show in Los Angeles. Jared is currently developing and slated to direct two new one-person plays in addition to writing his own full-length solo show.
