Jared Passante
- Production Department

- Producer
As a child, Jared spent hours bringing his action figures to life on
the pool table of his childhood home near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. His
bright young mind and fertile imagination didn't go unnoticed; his
parents bought him a cheap camera. Jared had his first taste of
filmmaking at a very early age; he was seven. He commissioned his
childhood friends nearly every weekend of his youth to help fuel his
newfound passion. Time flew by in school, as he was perpetually focused
on his next production. When he was ten years old, Jared's father
unwittingly shaped his son's destiny by taking him to the movies. The
epic scope of Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of
the Ring" was just the inspiration that he needed to decide that he
would devote his life to film.
