Jefferson Moore's path to acting, directing and screenwriting came by way of such 'diverse' occupations as bouncer, model, sales rep, inventor, restaurant manager, print broker, muralist, and finally, working actor.
In 1997, he and his wife, Kelly, formed Kelly's Filmworks Studios, an independent motion picture studio conceived with the mission to 'tell stories that both entertain and enlighten'.
A college drop-out who never studied acting, writing, nor filmmaking; his previous careers include: bouncer, restaurant manager, sales rep, inventor, print broker, and Kinko's account manager.
Walter Hill and Clint Eastwood influenced his directing style.
Refused the lead in his first grade school play because of his chronic shyness - an affliction he still struggles with to this day.
Describes himself as a 'textbook introvert'.
Edits his own films under the alias 'Pate Walters' because, quote, "I get tired of seeing 'Jefferson Moore' all over the credits".
