At six years old, Jeff ’s novella, Hoppy, an epic hero’s journey of a bunny in desperate search of a carrot, was critically acclaimed school-wide. (“Gold Star” ~ Mrs. Wheeler) In college, he switched from novels to theater (with a Brit Lit minor, just in case), writing in a sketch comedy troupe with a bunch of drama nerds. It wasn’t until 2008 that Jeff—a lifelong movie fan—met a ragtag bunch of Florida filmmakers. After learning the trade, he switched to screenwriting following a bizarre accident trying to plug in a C-stand. After writing and producing a handful of shorts, he decided setting money on fire was bad for the environment and turned to writing features. He completed his first screenplay, Fortune Street, in 2010. Mercifully, his laptop was stolen, and the screenplay lost forever. (“Derivative, and yet still terrible” ~ Laptop Thief) Today, Jeff lives in Las Vegas (people-watching capital of the world) and focuses on comedy features. He has completed several award-winning scripts, with many others in various states of disarray.
