At the age of 22 Jeremy completed his second novel, Resurrection, which
turned out to be a turning point in his writing career. He discovered
these compositions reflected a screenwriting sensibility, and over the
last decade Jeremy has worked to realize his dream as a feature film
maker.
In that time Jeremy has written, directed, produced, and edited more than eighty hours of network programming for national broadcasters such as The Aboriginal People's Television Network, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CTV, PBS, CHUM, Global Television, Television New Zealand, Maori Television, Extreme Sports, and A-Channel. Regardless of subject matter, Jeremy has traveled the world over exploring the human condition.
A non-status Ojibway from Kenora, Ontario, Jeremy remains committed to the Native community through the production, writing, and direction of stories of both a dramatic and documentary nature. In addition, Jeremy is dedicated to the cultivation and employment of emerging Native talent within the industry while utilizing the latest cinematographic technologies.
He is president of High Definition Pictures Inc, Chaotik Kreative Inc., and Digital Motion Pictures Co. ltd. bringing together some of the most successful and creative entertainment professionals working in the industry. His business instincts toward new technologies and financial models have been repeatedly noted by industry executives.
In pursuit of the story Jeremy has traveled the world including Iraq, Taiwan, Greece, Italy, France, England, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, Mexico, Chile, and virtually every corner of North America.
In 2003, Jeremy co-produced his first dramatic film Cowboys & Indians: The Killing of JJ Harper, which has won two international awards, two Blizzard Awards, and garnered five Gemini nominations. Jeremy recently directed his first feature film, Mr. Soul, which he wrote and adapted from the book Just Another Indian. He also served as editor and executive producer.
Jeremy's next feature project is Juliana and the Medicine Fish, based on the best selling novel by Jake MacDonald. It is slated for production September 2006, to be shot at Lake of the Woods, Ontario.
Additional development projects include The Splendid Life of Jesse Dixon, an original screenplay, and a project distributor ThinkFilm hails as the next 'Scarface'. Other projects include The Witch of Beacon Hill, The Revolutionary, Machine, Killing The Shamen, and Swipe, a co-production with Red Clay Films, and Nomad Film Group.
