Jesse D. Bentley grew up in Alabama, loving comics and fine art, with Frank Frazetta, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Jim Lee among his favorites. His love for drawing and painting led him to study Illustration at Savannah College of Art and Design, where a friend took notice of his passion for movies and encouraged him to instead major in Film and Television Production. After graduating from SCAD, he moved to New York City and worked in both film production and advertising as a grip, behind-the-scenes fashion photographer, camera assistant, and assistant editor. Jesse currently resides in Los Angeles and is pursuing his dreams of being a television director. He hopes to create his own television series, inspired by some of the 80's television shows he grew up on.
