J. Michael Lewis

Director - Film
Hilliard, OH

Director/Writer/Media Designer and Graphic Artist

STATUS UPDATE

Originally a tech geek out of Lancaster PA, I'm now an award winning filmmaker out of Ohio making movies with long time partner Jerod Brennen under the Tempered Zealot Productions banner. Our first short movie was released in 2004/2005 and we've been making movies ever since with the help of the great filmmaking community offered here in Columbus Ohio.

You can check out our movies at the official Tempered Zealot Productions website (www.temperedzealot.com). Just head to the films section where each movie has it's own dedicated "website".

I'm also the guy behind the posters, graphics, and DVD covers that we use to promote and market our work. I've been doing graphic arts, web site design, and media design for quite a while now. I have a website from where I do work for other folks (www.twindragonproductions.com) which you can see displayed there along with a bunch of helpful and fun links and resources for the graphic/media designer out there.

I love horror and my goal is to become a director of horror feature films, I don't really care if it's indie or not but I'd prefer to work for a studio or at least be someone they call on when they need to make a good horror movie. I'd also like to be the next big horror figure, have my name out there with other icons like Wes Craven, John Carpenter, Vincent Price, Alfred Hitchcock, etc.

Along with being a filmmaker, media designer, website designer, graphic artist, prop maker, father, husband, and all around horror guru, I'm also the current leader of Columbus' chapter of IndieClub so that takes up a lot of my time too. But we are a flourishing group of movie makers from all walks, all positions, all levels of experience and we rely on each other to produce our work.

I love movies. It's the one thing through out my life that has remained constant. I've always had a love for them, watching them, and wanting to make them. Now I do.
