ABOUT ME
FILMMAKER · PHOTOGRAPHER · WRITER

Hi there! My name is Jeremy Germain, and I am an award winning director, screenwriter, editor, photographer, and designer. I’ve called Chicago my home for the past 30 years, and in that time, I’ve thrown myself into as many projects and disciplines as I could. I’ve written, directed, and photographed award-winning short films, designed logos for individuals and brands, and have worked with agencies to develop digital content for corporations such as McDonalds, The American Heart Association, The Chicago Music Exchange, and more. I also serve as the Creative Director for Security Moments, a minority, family, and veteran owned business focused on delivering easily digestible cybersecurity training to small businesses. My passion lies in telling stories and creating content that helps make a difference. Whether it’s a film highlighting societal and personal struggles, a small business looking to strengthen their digital presence, or a photo session that captures an important moment in someone’s life, having a tangible impact is the fuel that motivates me to bring my absolute best to every project.

TESTIMONIALS
Ethan uphouse
Graphics Operator, Aesthetic Vision
"I’ve been working with Jeremy for over a decade, and I’ve seen him fill countless roles running the gamut from pre to post production. But whatever position he fills, having Jeremy work on a project is always a sigh of relief. He’s a Swiss army knife that brings unmatched professionalism and technical skill to all of his work, whether he’s supporting or leading. I’ve never set foot on a production that didn’t tangibly improve for the better thanks to his involvement."
"Jeremy is one of the rare few who impressed me immediately with his keen eye for developing compelling visuals. His understanding of lensing, lighting, framing, movement, color, performance and editing raises the simplest of shots to art. His uncompromising focus on quality sets him apart from other directors. I have worked with him on numerous occasions and intend to work with him again in the future."

"I've produced multiple short films that Jeremy Germain wrote and directed. After seeing his work progress from script to screen several times, it's clear that Jeremy knows how to write, direct, and execute heartfelt and emotional scenes that convey his intention"
