About Jeremy

Jeremy grew up in the industrial town of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even as he was studying Landscape Architecture at Penn State University, he was fascinated by 3D modeling, animation, and editing. Much of his early work in Landscape Architecture involved visual experiments with the byzantine technology available at the time. After graduation, he lingered on the east coast before relocating to the San Francisco Bay area to work in Urban Planning.

Before getting his MFA in Film, Jeremy had already lived many lives: Landscape Architect, Urban Planner, Software Developer, and Actor. His thesis project, Flapjack (Directed By Val Blakely) was featured at the Cannes Short film corner in 2012 and won awards in the Mexican International Film festival and the LA Movie Awards.

Jeremy after a brief tenure in Los Angeles, Jeremy returned to Pittsburgh. He now makes a living as a College Adjunct, Cinematographer and a 1st Assistant Cameraman working on feature films, television shows and commercials.

A completely independent film, this is an urban poem without dialogue; a desire is unleashed every minute, music providing rhythm to the evidence and traces of our solitary lives.
