His first step towards serious filmmaking was a entry in a local contest to stimulate amateur and children's film. For this, he used stop-motion animation to create a monster that ruins a city in the style of Ray Harryhausen. When he was 22, he made a movie that would change his life. It was called Bad Taste. After the success of Bad Taste, Jackson became recognized as a director and the door to fame and fortune was opened. He is married to Frances Walsh, and they have two children together, Billy, and Katie.
