Bad Bunny or Bad Robot:
Only Good Creative.





Bad Buddha has come to our video rescue numerous times — flawless editing, and an elegant eye for a better edit than the one I had in mind.
I’ve worked with many talented craftspeople, but none as gifted as Jacob — creative solutions, integrity and calm under pressure.
Creative, organizational and technical skill rarely seen in one person. My team is always stronger with Jacob on board.
Need the whole thing made? I direct and produce commercials, long format television and documentaries, and bring in the exact crew your project calls for. You get a 25-year director running point, on set and then in the cut.

When you hire
Bad Buddha,
I’m your guy.
I’m Jacob Max Nasim. For 25 years I’ve directed and cut video for Silicon Valley startups, major corporations, many a television station and one kangaroo. I work on commercials, brand videos, broadcast dramatic recreation and documentaries. What clients come back for, sometimes for decades, is simple: a producer/director/senior editor who’s personally on their project from kickoff to first cut through final delivery.
