Film has always been part of my life since the beginning. Growing up as the youngest in a family of seven, I spent every weekend seeing multiple movies in the theaters or at home. Ever since, I continually watch a movie per day.
Jordan L. Riley was born on February 2, 1994 in San Diego, California. At an early age, Riley began filming and making short movies with his father's camera. Over the years, he constantly writes and films striving to make the impossible, possible.
As seen in his more recent films, Riley was heavily influenced by the Science-Fiction saga Star Wars. After seeing George Lucas' space saga it gave birth to Riley's passion for original storytelling. He is a visionary filmmaker with incredible promise that is waiting to erupt for his future films for the world to witness in the years to come.
Filmmaking is one of the most powerful weapons we have on the planet. The way we can use film to inspire or bring awareness to certain topics or even connects someone's soul through the emotions it can produce is a great resource to have for the world to see. One specific area I focus on writing is to have strong female leads in all my screenplays because I want to bring attention to gender equalities in the film environment.
