HATCH

Screenwriter | Director | Producer

Jeffrey graduated from the University of North Texas' Mayborn School of Journalism and cut his teeth transforming storytelling into business results with world-class brands and creative agencies, holding leadership roles at T-Mobile and Amazon.

He’s led writers’ rooms, creative teams, managed large content budgets, earned recognition from Forbes, and was named a Mayborn Alumni of the Year for creating pathways into the industry for rising creatives.

Pairing his production experience, entrepreneurial chops, and UCLA screenwriting training, he wrote and directed four arthouse shorts under his AV Room banner, adapting one for stage, earning acclaim for deconstructing the traditional theater experience—immersing audiences directly in the film’s world and characters.

His screenplays have placed in major competitions including Final Draft Big Break, The Red List, PAGE, and most recently, was named a Top 3 finalist at the Austin Film Festival.

When not writing, Jeffrey dabbles in portrait photography and Screendance films, uniting cinematography with choreography. His love for movement and performance art help transform his screenplays into powerful pieces of kinetic art.
