Blake Jarvis

An upcoming wedding, a film that made it into Tribeca -- filmmaker Blake Jarvis is having himself a summer. 

IN JEFF WE TRUST (2025)'s logline is "two mentally ill girls regret joining a cult...but is it too late?" It is a hilarious short film produced and starring comedy duo Sydney Heller and Olivia DeLaurentis. 

Other than finding out if he has a band or a DJ, we go pretty deep into this guy's amazing summer for this episode.

Blake and I talk about:

• how did he find out his film made Tribeca?
• what should they expect to see IN JEFF WE TRUST and the relationship with Sydney and Olivia?
• the honor of making a film somebody else wrote;
• how did he started in filmmaking?
• his ability to edit (he's edited everything he's released) and how it's an important skill for indie filmmakers;
• his thoughts on filming on film as an accomplished editor;
• what's his thought process of creating shorts and what's their strategy going into Tribeca?
• why did he start a YouTube channel? It’s relatively rare in indie filmmaking; 
• what’s next for him — making little comedy shorts with friends, up on his YouTube channel

Memorable Quotes:

"I'm sure like a lot of people, you get stuck in the loop of [working on other projects] and you have to remember that you have to do your own stuff as well."

“You make three movies: what you write, what you shoot, and what you edit.” 

"if you're able to use film, freaking do it."

“ Maybe I'd have better luck on Vimeo, but I've never also understood the interface of Vimeo. I'm such a grandpa with that.”
