Jason Atwood
Position: Shift Supervisor
Birthdate: November 7, 1986
First Appearance: Multiplex #3

Perpetually crabby Jason is half Filipino, half white, but proudly indentifies as Filipino when convenient, such as when he's cracking racist jokes — ironically, he claims, because of his mixed race and leftist politics.

In Summer 2006, Jason started dating fellow Multiplex 10 employee, Devina Trivedi. When Devi returned to school in the fall, they continued seeing each other long distance. Devi returned to the Multiplex 10 again, in the summer of 2007, but Devi and Jason had a rocky transition back to a same-city couple and soon broke up.

Shortly after, Jason confessed to Becky that he was in love with her and had been for some time. But when Becky didn't leave her boyfriend Jay, he quit. He worked several jobs, including a sub-par pizza joint called Pizzeria Paradiso after leaving the Multiplex, but seemed to get fired from each in quick succession. After a few weeks, he started hanging around the theater again to see free movies, but avoided running into Becky until Melissa confronted him about it.

Once Jason had started talking to Becky again, his resistance to coming back to the Multiplex 10 disappeared, and he asked for his old job back, but a shuffle-up in the Multiplex 10 management ended up with Jason taking over Kurt's shift supervisor position instead, with Kurt getting promoted to shift manager.

In the spring of 2008, Jason and Angie started dating, and despite a rocky beginning, she seemed to have somewhat of a calming effect on him. But after Jason dragged Angie into a second major argument about religion, the two broke up amicably.

Since then, Jason started dating Lydia, a fellow film snob and hair stylist at the neighboring Dye Another Day salon, but has also started hanging out with Devi again… not entirely platonically. Jason seems to be having some difficulty deciding what to do about Lydia.

The Lives of Others has recently replaced Fritz Lang's M on Jason's top five favorite films list. Jason is a Film Studies major at Columbia College in Chicago.
