About Jeff

Jeff Perreca specializes in telling stories that are high concept, but also high character. Whether it’s laughter, fear, or a few tears, his work always aims to elicit emotion. He has a background in advertising where he worked as a writer/creative director for over fifteen years. Jeff has been a part of countless productions for some of the world’s biggest brands, like Chevy, Honda, U.S. Navy and Purina.

He developed a TV Show with Blumhouse TV and Jennifer Lopez’s Nuyorican Productions. His pilot “Graphic” was named as a finalist in the TV Script Contest and the Grand Prize Winner of the WeScreenplay TV Contest. He co-wrote a feature that was named to the 2018 Hit List. That same year he was also named to the Young and Hungry list.

In 2019, Jeff made his directorial debut with the short film, “Talentless”. It was named a winner of Stage32’s Short film contest, and debuted at Dances with Films. It also played in academy-qualifying festivals like HollyShorts and Raindance.

The feature version of that film was also named to Stage 32 "Double Recommend" list as well as placed in the top 1% of all scripts in the Stage32 community for 2021.

Most recently, Jeff was selected as a directing fellow for BlackMagic Collective’s First Frame Initiative.
