We recently had the chance to connect with Jason Allen Wear and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Jason , it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What’s more important to you—intelligence, energy, or integrity?
Integrity, hands down. In this business and honestly, in life period. You can have all the talent and drive in the world, but if people can’t trust you or take your word seriously, none of it matters. I’ve built my career and my company on doing what I say I’ll do. Integrity keeps you grounded when everything else gets loud.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I’m Jason Allen Wear, a working actor and filmmaker. I am also the CEO of a Dallas/Ft.Worth based production company called Impact Entertainment. We focus on telling grounded, emotional stories that leave a lasting impression. Stories that make a “Impact”.
Whether it’s a short film, documentary, or feature, I’ve always believed stories should entertain while saying something real. We enjoy producing branded content for clients as well.
Right now, I’m in production as both associate producer and a lead actor on a psychological thriller called The Hive, where I play Sheriff Thomas. We’ll be wrapping in Daytona Beach in a couple of months, and the film is slated for release in 2026. I’m also producing a feature of my own next year under Impact Entertainment and currently in negotiations with some named talent.
It’s a really exciting time. Every project feels like another chance to grow, connect, and create something that lasts long after the credits roll.
Amazing, so let’s take a moment to go back in time. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
I’d say the part of me that used to overthink everything and feel the need to micromanage everyone around me. That’s been a real challenge to let go of. I’ve always cared deeply about the work, but I’ve learned that trusting the people around me is just as important. They know how to do their jobs, and letting them do them takes a huge weight off my shoulders. Letting go of that need to control every detail has become the key to real productivity. It also makes the workday feel a lot less like work.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The fear of rejection and failure have definitely been the biggest ones for me. They’re something I think everyone faces at some point, but in this business it’s almost a way of life. As an actor, you learn early on that rejection isn’t personal. It’s part of the process. You can pour your heart into an audition and still not get the role, but that doesn’t mean you failed. It just means there’s something else waiting that fits you better.
Failure, on the other hand, is where the real growth happens. Every setback has taught me something I couldn’t have learned any other way. It forces you to adapt, evolve, and keep pushing forward. Without rejection and failure, you don’t grow. You just stay comfortable, and comfort, at least for me, is the real danger.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. Is the public version of you the real you?
Is the public me the real me? Sort of… it’s more like the “director’s cut.”
In the film world, you keep your opinions on politics, religion, flat vs. round Earth, or even Team Jacob vs. Team Edward… to yourself. One wrong word and suddenly you’re “that guy” no one wants to work with.
So yeah, what you see is a tad bit polished. The messy, chaotic, opinionated me? That one’s in the deleted scenes.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
Procrastination has been my worst enemy. I tend to wait, trying to make everything perfect, but nothing ever will be. Life is too short. We should all live like there is no tomorrow. Take those trips you’ve been dreaming about, finish the screenplays you’ve been putting off, let go of grudges, and focus on creating and experiencing life. I recently spent time in Istanbul, London, and Barcelona, and I have more trips planned in the upcoming months. I’m taking baby steps, but I’m learning the most important thing is to just start. Don’t talk about it, be about it.
