Writing
Jarrow's writing career began in theater, winning an Obie Award with director Alex Timbers in 2004 for A Very Merry Unauthorized Children's Scientology Pageant, a satirical musical about L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology. His theatrical writing has been noted for its macabre humor and frequent incorporation of pop music. Early credits include Armless, the basis for the film of the same name, and Whisper House, a musical written with Duncan Sheik. As Jarrow's career progressed he became frustrated with the reach of theater and began writing for television and film as well.
Jarrow's writing for television and film has frequently focused on existential questions of what to believe and how to live. His first feature film was 2010 Sundance Film Festival NEXT selection Armless, a comedy about a man suffering body integrity identity disorder, starring Daniel London and Janel Moloney. Armless was directed by Habib Azar, with whom Jarrow collaborated again in 2014 on Saint Janet, an independent film about a woman who believes she has spoken to God, starring Kelly Bishop and Nyambi Nyambi.
In 2012 Jarrow developed a police drama for FX produced by Philip Seymour Hoffman. In 2013 The CW announced development of Ze, a family drama series written by Jarrow about a transgender teen. Ze would have represented the first time a transgender person has been the lead character on a broadcast television show. In 2016, Kyle created Lost Generation, a digital series with music by Duncan Sheik for Verizon's go90 network. It premiered January 13, 2017. He is the creator and executive producer of the upcoming series Valor which will premiere on The CW network in October 2017.
