Jeff is a longtime fan of cinema.

He then began investing a substantial amount of time in self-study, training in non-linear post-production editing programs such as Adobe Premiere & Encore. Following graduation from college Jeff set out to produce his own independent shot-on-video (S.O.V.) movies. His early productions include the action/horror movies Terror of the Master and The Temptress, and the comedy Of Theatre & Bikinis, all produced entirely in the Capital Region of Upstate New York utilizing local talent.
