Jesse Lane(VIII)

Jesse Lane (Sockwell) has always loved the arts. As a kid, he grew up writing books in class and stapling them together, having his teachers read them for feedback. Once he reached the 4th grade, he wrote his first screenplay. In the 5th grade, he learned how to write in proper screenplay format. His goals for years and years was to writer and direct, but he also learned to love acting. After graduating high school, he began to take acting lessons, learning stage acting. In 2013, he performed in his first recital and in the spring of 2014, he was cast in his first show. Jesse has been in multiple shows since then, never looking back. He even had his own L.L.C. for about a year named "J & L Productions", where they independently produced theatrical productions for the local North Alabama area. During that period, they produced 4 separate shows. After that company disbanded in 2017, he made his first short film, which was followed up by his first feature. He soon joined up with two other guys involved in the feature, "A Love", and they created "Bad Guys Close In Productions". In the summer of 2017, he left Bad Guys Close In and decided to do his own thing, writing original shows and films. Since then, he has completed 15 projects, including 2 original theatrical works, short films & feature films, through his own independent company, Echoe Productions. Echoe Productions has more projects in post-production and also in development at this time. He continues to write, direct & act, creating his own content. His true love is now acting, but while he can, he chooses to continue to write & direct whenever possible.
