Dwight Jackson, a native Texan, came to California in the early 1970s to pursue a graduate design degree at California Institute of the Arts. M.F.A. in hand, he quickly and fortuitously got a job assisting one of television’s leading designers. This early introduction to television work led to a cavalcade of jobs in music, variety, situation comedy and drama for broadcast. Jackson, winner and multiple Emmy nominee, belongs to both art department unions and works as production designer, art director or set decorator, depending upon the project. He has served two previous terms as a Television Academy governor, and is this year the co-chair of the 60th Primetime Governors Ball and the 60th Creative Arts Governors Ball. Jackson’s latest design work is the forthcoming film Southern Comfort, written and produced by Linda Bloodworth Thomason.
