Born & raised in Dubuque, IA, Jake Roth has been an aspiring filmmaker since age 10, when he was given a video camera for Christmas (Easter egg alert! - the same exact video camera that is used as an important prop in this film). Ever since, he has been writing, shooting, editing, and acting - getting his hands on any project he can to improve upon the previous. He graduated from Loras College (Dubuque, IA) in May 2014 with a Bachelor's Degree in Media Studies, and has been working at the college since Fall 2014 in the Media Department as a full-time producer. However, that is only his Monday-Friday gig, as his weekends are commonly booked-solid with side projects of his own, including this film. Jake Roth has and always will eat, sleep and breathe film, and loves sharing that passion with everyone, from the people that aid him in his projects to those who sit down and enjoy them after the fact. A humble Iowa kid, continuing to be fueled by his never-ending ambition to make audiences laugh, gasp, and grip the armrests of their chair for dear life thanks to the generous & constant support of those all around him.
