Jeremy St. Romain is a writer-director from southeastern Louisiana whose films draw from both regional roots and wider terrains, including the New York indie music world, the South Bronx during COVID, and the mythologies of the American West. His work transforms intimate stories into portals for larger cultural truths.

Through his company, Under BQE Productions, Jeremy creates films and visual campaigns that reveal the extraordinary hidden in plain sight. His collaborators include Habitat for Humanity, Altadena Library, Ness Arts, and New York City public schools, partners drawn to his instinct for making any story feel both personal and expansive. His background as a photographer and educator is evident in every frame: crafted, intentional, and human.

Jeremy’s television pilot Superstition won the Big Apple Film Festival and was recognized by Austin, Cinequest, Save the Cat, and Final Draft’s Big Break. His short film Pony Bar earned a Kodak Student Film Award nomination and won at the Women in Film Festival. He is the recipient of the 2025 Alex Trebek Legacy Fellowship from the Television Academy Foundation, awarded to a handful of educators nationwide.

He is currently raising funds for Blood Harmony, a lyrical short film about a musician returning to the Gulf Coast to finish a song and confront herself. He is also developing Mott Haven, a television series inspired by his years as a teacher in the South Bronx during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic; The Crane and the Marsh, a documentary about the fragile light of Louisiana’s whooping cranes; and a feature biopic about Jimmy Buffett.

Jeremy earned his MFA in Screenwriting from the Feirstein Graduate School of Cinema and teaches in Hofstra University’s LA program, where he mentors emerging filmmakers while deepening his own voice. Whether capturing a quiet rupture or a moment of awe, his aim is the same: to make films that stay with you, stories that entertain, disarm, and open new ways of seeing the world.
