Hailing from the frozen lands of the flyover states, Jeremy traveled to LA via NYC to pursue his music. When “Rockstar” didn't pan out as a viable career, he calculated that film school would be a better alternative. Since earning his MFA in Screenwriting from UCLA, he spends his time writing high concept drama scripts, developing projects for production, and directing music videos.
Having had Salem’s Lot, The Thing, and Alien burned into his mind as a kid, he now loves Halloween a bit too much for a grown up, but his fascination with genre films has led to racking up quite a few screenwriting awards, including grand prize at Screamfest.
As a Creative Executive for feisty indie film company Bee Holder Productions, Jeremy has developed multiple scripts with writers and producers and moved them through various stages of production. Currently, Bee Holder is in physical production in conjunction with Escape Artists and John Wells on Untamed for Netflix, starring Eric Bana, as well as the political thriller Raider, a feature helmed by Simon West, which stars Aaron Eckhart and Jason Isaacs. He is also spearheading development of the Mexicana IP, from French author Matz (who wrote The Killer - adapted by David Fincher) into a feature in partnership with Dark Dreams Entertainment.
Additionally, a sci-fi feature Jeremy has co-written, titled Fulfillment is attaching a director for Sony Pictures via Escape Artists, and a TV series co-created and written by Jeremy, Mojave Crime, based on the book series of the same name is being shopped to multiple interested parties. He has two other genre features optioned by film companies in various stages of development for production.
Not satisfied to just work in film, Jeremy has been a composer and musical director for the award-winning Vox Medusa Dance Company based in Minneapolis for the last 20+ years. He also shoots music videos and plays bass guitar for artists like Brad Byrd and Dan Kincaid, and sits in with various California high desert bands. These days he splits his time between LA and Joshua Tree, where he can typically be found working on home renovation projects in the desert heat, a far cry from the frozen flyover states.
