Director Jason Winer Joins BODEGA Roster

Bicoastal content creation studio BODEGA continues its recent expansion, signing director Jason Winer to the BODEGA roster. Jason is best known for the pilot of Modern Family, for which he won the DGA Award for Outstanding Direction of a Comedy Series.

Jason was the producing director of Modern Family’s first season, receiving Emmy, Peabody, PGA, and AFI Awards. Over the show's eleven seasons, he directed twenty-four episodes, including classics 'Fizbo', 'Dude Ranch', and 'Virgin Territory', for which he received his second directing Emmy nomination. Currently, Jason is directing and executive producing Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson's forthcoming Untitled Brothers Comedy Series for AppleTV+. Over the course of his career, he has produced and directed eight television pilots that have gone to series (including Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23, Life in Pieces, Single Parents, Perfect Harmony, The Santa Clauses, and drama The Big Leap) along with two feature films: Arthur for Warner Brothers, and Ode to Joy for IFC.

Jason states, "I love the idea that BODEGA is a carefully curated boutique - a collective of directors that the shop can truly stand behind. After the incredible experience we had together on our recent Norwegian Cruise Line shoot, I feel honoured to have seemingly proven myself worthy of this elite company!”

A graduate of Northwestern University, Winer originally honed his improv skills in the acclaimed comedy group, 'The Mee-Ow Show', and later studied with Del Close himself at the Improv Olympic Theatre in Chicago.

BODEGA executive producer Erin Tauscher notes, “Jason is one of the most exciting directors that I’ve had the pleasure to collaborate with in my career. Every call, every meeting, is like sitting in on a masterclass in directing. We couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome him to the BODEGA roster.”
