JEFF WADLOW graduated from Dartmouth College with a double major in History and Film modified by Drama and a citation for outstanding work in Animation.
A graduate of the Peter Stark Producing Program at the University of Southern California School of Cinema-Television, Jeff was awarded a USC Associates Endowment Scholarship for academic achievement; was selected as one of 10 nationwide finalists for the Coca-Cola Refreshing Filmmaker’s Award; and conceived, acted in, and directed the short The Tower of Babble (co-written and produced by Beau Bauman and Matt Stuecken, and narrated [uncredited] by Kevin Spacey), which was chosen for a Stark Special Projects grant. The film went on to receive acclaim as an official selection at over 30 international and domestic film festivals, garnering more than two dozen awards.
In his first year out of film school, Jeff was honored with the George Méliès Award for Innovation, sponsored by Kodak; made a special presentation of his short films for the opening night gala of the Virginia Film Festival; was featured at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s “Young Directors” night; and took the top prize at the inaugural Chrysler Million Dollar Film Festival – a million-dollar production grant to make his first feature film, Cry_Wolf.
Jeff’s other writing and directing credits include the Chrysler-branded Manual Labor; the presentation piece that inspired Cry_Wolf, Living the Lie, starring Topher Grace and Estella Warren; and the animated Catching Kringle, featuring the voices of Danny DeVito and Larry King. As actor, he has appeared in various projects, including Michael Bay’s Pearl Harbor and the television series Roswell.
Jeff recently created The Adrenaline Film Project, a program he founded to help aspiring filmmakers of all ages conceive and complete a short film in just 72 hours.
