About Us

Foxboro Short Film Festival is a brain child of two-time Emmy nominee, Jaden Onwuakor, when he was 13 years old.

Jaden is a co-host of NESN Clubhouse, appeared in many commercials, movies, TV, including Don’t Look up, with Oscar Winning Sir. Mark Rylance, written and directed by Oscar Winner Adam McKay, with A list stars, worked with Hally Bailey, Liam Nesson, and Zendaya for her 2024 movie Challengers as her brother.

He has modeled for big brands including Hasbro, Converse, Canon, and many more since the age of three.

Jaden is a proud member of Ahern Middle School NJHS (National Junior Honor Society) and the Civil Air Patrol, United States Air Force Auxiliary.

He was suggested to direct/write his own movie for the Boston 48 hour film project by his mother Juri Love who had participated in the competition for 5 years, then instead of creating one, he decided to create an opportunity for other filmmakers to showcase their talent.

Jaden dreams to attend the United States Coast Guard Academy in the future and prior to his schooling, he wants to make this Film Festival an annual event in Foxboro, MA and wants to inherit his legacy as a founder of Foxboro Short Film Festival for the next generations and young leaders to come.
