Jeremy Nielsen

Jeremy was 14 years-old when he realized that his Mormon bishop could not, in fact, read his mind during priesthood-worthiness interviews. From there, after over 30 years of unravelling the web of illusory doctrine, he still wonders if this last cup of coffee will be the one that shepherds his soul to hell. It took getting stabbed in the face the first week on the job at a detention center, for Nielsen to realize he could only do that job for another eight years. Jeremy logged thousands of miles in the back of a 1985 Ford Econoline van, touring the country playing music, then pivoted to the movie business as a Gaffer and Cinematographer. He currently resides on the barren plains of rural Wyoming.

Jeremy is a SUNDANCE EPISODIC TELEVISION WRITING LAB FELLOW. He is currently the Director of Photography for STRANGERS IN THEIR OWN LAND and NOWHERE MAN AND A WHISKEY GIRL for Christopher Charles Scott and Strategery Films/Shoplifter (CLASS ACTION PARK on HBOMax). Jeremy is also a Sundance Collab Advisor. His pilot script TICKER won the NEW YORK TELEVISION FESTIVAL and was a finalist at the AUSTIN FILM FESTIVAL. Listed on the 2018 Young and Hungry Screenwriters list, Jeremy acknowledges that only one of those descriptors remains true.
