Founded by Jonathan Cooper and JaQuan M. Jones, Billiards is a passionate collective of storytellers who share timeless narratives that draw inspiration from the tapestry of real-life experiences.

Our ambition knows no bounds as we strive to advance humanity by uncovering the myriad facets of everyday life, whether it be on the grand stage, through the captivating lens of television, or even on the sidewalk of a bustling city. Virginia and the DMV, our cherished home bases, provide the fertile ground from which our creativity blossoms.

The seeds of Billiards were sown in the transformative month of August in 2017. A profound realization dawned upon us through virtual workshops in 2020 and an immersive in-person week-long workshop at the Zeiders American Dream Theatre in Town Center, Virginia Beach, during the summer of 2021. We realized that we were cultivating something extraordinary that surpasses the boundaries of mere a play or series but rather a container to hold the narratives of the people around us. 

Billiards is our vehicle to uplift and empower other creatives, particularly those we affectionately refer to as the underdogs. Quan carried a deep sense of purpose, driven by the desire to provide opportunities to those back home who lacked accessibility to opportunities as he pursued his path at Brown University.

This realization has ignited a burning simple question: What can we do to pass on knowledge and opportunities to others? The answer lies in our commitment to construct a rich and diverse body of work that nurtures our artistic growth and serves as a conduit for aspiring talents in a sustainable way. 

We are a story factory, a place where plays, documentaries, short films, virtual music concerts, journalism, and television series are forged with unwavering dedication straight out of VA and the greater DMV area.

Together, we are Billiards—a force that transcends boundaries, a catalyst for change, and a testament to the transformative power of storytelling.
