Jay Bulger

Jay Bulger (born August 19, 1982) is an American film director and writer from Washington, D.C.

Bulger attended Fordham University in the Bronx, where he boxed in several New York Golden Glove tournaments. Photographs of his fighting launched him onto the cover of Vogue and then modelling for brands such as Armani, Calvin Klein, Dolce & Gabbana, Kenneth Cole, and Hermès.

After a 2-year bout with cancer, Bulger dedicated himself to writing and directing and has since published cover stories and feature articles for Rolling Stone, New York, and GQ. He has directed music videos and commercials for bands such as the Hold Steady, Nightmare of You, Permanent Me, and Playradioplay; and brands such as Pepsi and Disney.

For Bulger's article "The Devil and Ginger Baker" in Rolling Stone, Bulger lived with the rock drummer Ginger Baker in South Africa where Baker had spent the previous decade living in seclusion. The article and the numerous hours of interviews Bulger captured on film became the premise for his documentary Beware of Mr. Baker, and in the spring of 2010, Bulger returned to South Africa with a small film crew to finish making the film.Beware of Mr. Baker premiered at the 2012 South by Southwest Film Festival and won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary.
