Jeff Kirkendall is an independent digital filmmaker & actor from Upstate New York. He has been passionately involved in making and promoting independent films since 1996 and has acted in over 100 movies to date. His first acting credit was in the 1994 feature Black Easter, which starred indie film luminary Debbie Rochon and Hammer movie legend Veronica Carlson.

Jeff is a longtime fan of cinema. As part of a Communications degree program at The College of Saint Rose in Albany, New York he studied studio and field video production using analog (VHS) cameras and linear editing decks. He then began investing a substantial amount of time in self-study, training in non-linear post-production editing programs such as Adobe Premiere & Encore. Following graduation from college Jeff set out to produce his own independent shot-on-video (S.O.V.) movies. His early productions include the action/horror movies Terror of the Master and The Temptress, and the comedy Of Theatre & Bikinis, all produced entirely in the Capital Region of Upstate New York utilizing local talent.
