Jeremy grew up battling tumble weeds in the remote reaches of rural New Mexico. The fictional worlds offered a chance to explore an infinite variety of adventure and intrigue Naturally gaming and the internet provided gateways to experiences and information that were otherwise out of reach.  Jeremy graduated from Wagon Mound High School.

With a desire to build digital experiences Jeremy went off to school at UNM on a meandering path that took him through film, video game development, web development, and computer science. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science from the College of Engineering in 2013.  He completed the IFDM program as a member of the first cohort.

Leveraging his web technology chops he set for sunny California to help build out and deploy the cutting edge PlayStation Now game streaming service. Building internal tools and web technology for Telltale Games brought Jeremy to the bay area where Breachgate saw its beginnings.

Kendra Paige Crooks was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. She studied Media Arts with a concentration in Sustainability at The University of New Mexico. With the knowledge she gained in school, she made the conscious decision to expand her education and utilize her skills of storytelling by traveling around the world to India, South Africa, and France. Passionate about capturing real life, she used her camera to document controversial issues and creative projects that eventually allowed her to have her documentary screened at the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival.

When returning home, she was determined to keep the inspiration alive and co-founded a media company in downtown Albuquerque alongside Austin Madrid, an IFDM alum. JAK Media LLC’s main purpose is to tell stories and to help people go further with their passion. When she’s not working on set, in the studio, or producing the Albuquerque 48 Hour Film Project, you can find her pursuing her love of viticulture by educating wine enthusiasts at the New Mexican gem, Gruet Winery.

Currently, JAK Media is working with several local businesses to promote creative growth for the state of New Mexico. You can find current and future projects at www.jakmediallc.com and be sure to visit and potentially participate in the worldwide film competition that is the 48 Hour Film Project.

Soon after I graduated from UNM, Amy left for New York where she ended up working for a cinematographer, Michael Mayers, as his personal assistant. She also started shooting my own documentary projects and eventually worked her way into the Cinematographer’s Guild as a camera assistant and worked for about ten years on movies and TV shows like Sex & the City, Brown Sugar, Milk, Elf, Songcatcher, Outsourced, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and many more. When Sex & the City ended, Amy started to think about getting out of the film industry and back into still photography. She ended up moving to the west coast and working for some magazines and eventually landed at Outside, back in New Mexico, as the photo editor.
