Jacob is a writer based in Wilmington, N.C. He currently writes for Awards Watch, InSession Film, Music City Drive-In, and Ready Steady Cut. Throneberry has also written for Oscars Central and Hidden Remote. Before joining the NCFCA, he was a member of the Music City Film Critics Association (MCFCA) and is currently a member of the North American Film Critics Association (NAFCA).

Growing up around 20 minutes outside of Nashville, Tenn., it was movies, not music, that Jacob always gravitated towards. This love of film is what sent him on a path to graduate from Western Kentucky University with a History Major and Film Studies Minor, and it is also what brought him to North Carolina as he is pursuing a master's degree in Film Studies at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.

Some of his favorite films include Eighth Grade, Aftersun, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and The Truman Show; he is also a fan of the works of Paul Thomas Anderson, Sidney Lumet, Greta Gerwig, and the Safdie Brothers. Throneberry  is also a massive sports fan, he played rugby throughout college and is a fan of the University of Kentucky and the Chicago Bears.
