  • Summary

  • It is a privilege to welcome Emmy award-winning filmmaker Kristi Jacobson to The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.

    Kristi’s films have premiered at the Sundance and Tribeca Film Festivals, have been released in theaters worldwide, and screened on platforms including ABC, CBS, Discovery, ESPN, HBO, Hulu, MAX, Netflix, and PBS. Her 2016 HBO film Solitary, an unflinching exploration of life inside one of America’s most notorious supermax prisons, was nominated for two Emmy Awards, winning the Outstanding Investigative Documentary award. It also received nominations for Independent Spirit’s Truer Than Fiction Award and Cinema Honors Outstanding Achievement in Broadcast Nonfiction Film.
    In 2021, Kristi directed Homefront, part of the HBO/Max and Sesame Workshop series Through Our Eyes, which was nominated for an NAACP Image Award, and the film was a Columbia-DuPont Finalist. That same year, she also directed an episode, “The Protectors,” on the Netflix original series Dogs. Media outlets such as The Hollywood Reporter, The Los Angeles Times, Vanity Fair, and The Wall Street Journal have featured her work.

    Kristi Jacobson’s latest project is Louder: The Soundtrack of Change. The documentary takes audiences on a journey across generations, eras, and genres, anchored by a female chorus of musical icons whose songs, voices, and activism inspired the past and current fight for equality for all. While Kristi directed the film, actress and singer Selena Gomez and New York Times best-selling author and activist Stacey Abrams were among the producers. The film features interviews with Selena, Stacey, H.E.R., Mickey Guyton, Rhiannon Giddens, and music legends Chaka Khan, Linda Ronstadt, and Melissa Etheridge.

    On this special edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Kristi Jacobson spoke about her most memorable moments working with Selena Gomez and Stacey Abrams, assembling the all-star cast, and the lessons that she hopes that the audience takes away from Louder: The Soundtrack of Change.

    Louder: The Soundtrack of Change will debut on October 17 on MAX.
