Born just outside the “Chocolate City” of Hershey, Pennsylvania, this Chicago transplant has been making headway in the Midwest since 2010. With focuses in directing and screenwriting, Jeremy Silva dove into the independent scene as a freelance cinematographer and writer. A humanitarian and community leader, Silva has shot video segments for a variety of non-for-profits, including the Humane Society, Immerman’s Angels, and Blessings in a Backpack.

Jeremy has written and directed several short films. His last effort, Watermelon Eyes, was an official selection at the Blow-Up Chicago Arthouse Film Festival and the Reel Recovery Film Festival. His first feature, The Rake, was produced by Unified Pictures and is planning for a release of Summer 2018.
