Jacob Pechenik is an American film producer predominantly active in the independent scene. He is the husband of actress Zooey Deschanel.

He co-founded the start-up TechTrader and set up and served as the CEO of YellowJacket Software. In 2010, Pechenik decided to venture into the film business and founded Venture Film Productions. A year later, they released their first film, a comedy-drama titled ‘Terri’.

He has produced films, such as ‘Kiss of the Damned’, ‘Before Midnight’, ‘The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete’, ‘The Skeleton Twins’, and ‘Solace’.

They are ‘The Inevitable Defeat of Mister & Pete’, ‘Jobs’, ‘The Immigrant’, ‘Hateship Loveship’, ‘Devil’s Knot’, ‘Life of Crime’, and ‘Cold Comes the Night’.
He served as the producer for the first time on the comedy-drama ‘The Skeleton Twins’ (2014). That year, he collaborated with actress Anne Hathaway in the musical drama ‘Song One’. He also served as the executive producer of ‘Electric Slide’, a biographical film about real-life furniture salesman turned bank robber Eddie Dodson. In ‘Black or White’, Pechenik got the chance to work with industry veteran Kevin Costner.
In 2014, he also served as the executive producer of ‘Amnesiac’, a horror mystery starring Kate Bosworth, Wes Bentley, and Olivia Rose Keegan. A year later, he produced the crime-drama ‘Solace’, which revolves around a psychic who joins forces with the FBI to locate a serial killer.
