Acting

Jeremy started acting with the Cheshire Film project in 2004. For two weeks every year Jeremy and forty actors gathered to make a film. The films are not about disability but many of the actors have disabilities.

Over the years Jeremy and his friends at Zeno Mountain Farm produced many films, including: Sweetwater Tides (A soap opera), The Return of the Muscrats (a pirate musical), Sky Squad Eagle Eight (a superhero adventure), Selling the Future: The Adventure of Lenny Maloney (A time travel film), The Greatest Song Ever Written (a rock and roll documentary), In the Pines (a horror film), Finding Zach Efron, Bulletproof and most recently, Best Summer Ever.

Best Summer Ever is an original musical and Zeno’s first feature length film. A planned premiere at SXSW in March, 2020 was cancelled at the beginning of the pandemic.  SXSW included it in 2021 and it premiered virtually to wonderful reviews.  It’s now available on many screening platforms.

Jeremy had roles in all of these films, including the lead in Selling the Future  and Bulletproof. These films can be seen on Zeno’s website: www.zenomountainfarm.org.  In Best Summer Ever, Jeremy is the school mascot and also plays drums on the soundtrack.

Bulletproof was shown at theaters and festivals from coast to coast.  Also, Jeremy was featured in award-winning filmmaker Michael Barnett’s Becoming Bulletproof.  Barnett produced and directed this documentary about the making of Bulletproof.

Currently, Jeremy is a member of Theatre for All, Wilmington’s only theatre company for people with disabilities.  (www.theatreforall.org)  During the pandemic,  TFA started making short films when they couldn’t perform live.  (can we add a 5 minute short film in the vids section?)

 

As the result of his work with How’s Your News? and other films Jeremy appeared on the Sarah Silverman show on Comedy Central TV.
