TANGENTS & SUMMARY

“David is a successful writer and filmmaker. He’s shown exceptional creativity in formulating ideas for projects... He’s an intelligent, thoughtprovoking man with a penchant for detail in thought and word.” Crystal Martinez Actor / Filmmaker

Nicole Leigh (Parent Compass, Home Run) from the Gothic western Shroud.

tangents & summary

Below is a list of hobbies and interests I have both amateur and academic. I believe when the highly diversified mind intersects passion it gives rise to the Renaissance ideal. In my experience the best professionals have the most varied bases of study. Illustration | A lifelong artist my skills are primarily pencil, pen and ink, sculpture, fantasy, mechanical, and Photoshop manipulation. I also work very well with 2D and 3D modelers and animators. Interior Design | Every once in a while I will apply my Set Design skills for feature films to homes and offices. Fight Design | As a career martial artist I occasionally indulge in fight choreography for short and feature length films. Core styles: Tae Kwon Do, Western Boxing, Seven Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu and Chin Na. Systems Theory | I have a knack for managing complex operations, streamlining processes, improving momentum, and where possible enhancing cost-to-service ratios without sacrificing quality. Software & Platforms | Adobe Master Collection CC and Microsoft Office 2016. I currently operate on Windows 10 with Cloud services. Management | I have operated as a contractor, consultant, project specialist, full and part-time employee and employer. In addition to working by myself I have managed small (1-10), medium (11-50), and large (51+) teams of domestic and international contractors and vendors. For example, in writing, producing and directing the feature film Shroud I managed over 300 relationships concurrently. Hobbies | Number theory, philosophy, cosmology, ancient civilizations, archaeology, linguistics, biology, genetics. Personality | I am highly intelligent, creative, curious, resourceful and ethical. I use as much of the left side of my brain as I do my right. I am both highly analytical and imaginative, methodical and innovative.

References “David is one of those rare and ephemeral creatures — a film director who is both a master of the visual medium and a talented actor’s director who can inspire a commanding and truthful performance from an actor. Of the eleven feature films I have worked on to date, David’s micro-budgeted Shroud remains my favorite experience for the collaborative spirit David encouraged on set, for the opportunity to contribute creatively to his vision, and most important, for David’s ability to deliver an outstanding feature film with incredibly limited funding. I can’t wait to see what he can do with a real budget.”

Michael Morlan Director and Cinematographer www.michael-morlan.net “Today, one generally finds an artist who can’t deliver to a deadline or a salesperson who wouldn’t recognize artistic talent if introduced. David (Jetrefilm Entertainment) possesses that impossible-to-find combination of both business savvy and the infinitely creative. David’s no-nonsense approach to objectives with an impossible volume of creative talent, energy, and excellence are at once invaluable and refreshing. David’s command of the tools, concepts, timing, and his awareness of how to combine these equally important components for consistent delivery of products — far exceeding expectation — best illustrates the ever-soughtafter paradox of professionalism and artistic talent at its best. Do yourself a favor and just contact him and get on with your project!” Josh Ellis Account Operations Manager Mitchell International “David was a pleasure to work for on set. Effectively communicating to the crew, he made sure everyone was on the same page and this helped keep all the departments working in sync. Even under the pressure of racing the sunrise he kept calm, focused and positive which in turn kept the crew calm, focused and able to execute the scene. I would gladly work with and for Mr. Jetre on any production.” Craig Ballin Camera Operator

References (Cont.) “I have had the pleasure to work with David on his 2009 feature film Shroud and provide the music for his project. He has shown the independent film world what it takes to create a first class film outside of Hollywood, a film that shows perfection on every level. For a composer, it is crucial to get inspired visually, to be able to feed off the visually emotional content of each individual scene, and to eventually be inspired to provide the appropriate music or sound that will take it to the next level. David is able to create such a film. He knows what is needed to produce a great project, whatever it may need. It was a pleasure to work with David and I certainly look forward to the opportunity of working with him again in the future.” Wolfgang Lackner Composer, Wolfgang Lackner Music “Sandmerrick, Inc. is a refreshing change from the typical advertising, graphic designer drudgery. Sandmerrick’s focus on the project and the bottom-line satisfaction of the customer (regardless of the obstacles or personalities involved) is a key differentiator. Professionalism, quality, talent and focus are all brought to bear on each and every project, from logos and branding to web sites — superior results can be expected with a surprising tendancy to far exceed expectations every time. One would be foolish to overlook Sandmerrick, Inc. as your sole source for all graphic design, advertising, or business projects demanding the highest level of brand visibility.” Josh Ellis Information Technology Manager, Sitel “David’s ability to pool resources and create million dollar results with a budget in the thousands not only make him an incredible asset but down right unstoppable with a budget that matches his talent. I can’t wait to see what he creates with a million dollar budget. Probably something that looks like it had a budget of $10 million to $100 million.”

“It’s my honor and pleasure to commend David Jetre on his dedication, professionalism, expertise, creative excellence, and get-it-done yet friendly attitude. I had the privilege of working with David and his team on the award winning Shroud feature film. With a low budget, and minimal crew of some of Austin’s & Dallas’s best film pros, working on the project mainly because of a belief in the story and David’s can do enthusiasm, he crafted a masterful and powerful film that looks like it cost 20x it’s budget, and is a compelling, entertaining and dramatic independent feature. I’d work with him on any project he undertakes again with pleasure. He’s rapidly established himself and his company as one of Texas’s film industry professionals and treasures.” Dan’l Terry Actor “David is a successful writer and filmmaker. He’s shown exceptional creativity in formulating ideas for projects. He’s one of a few filmmakers in the Texas area who are developing films that are outside the norm and are unique and interesting. He’s an intelligent, thought-provoking man with a penchant for detail in thought and word. Well-spoken, well-written, an excellent communicator. He would be a thorough, focused, industrious and interesting employer or collaborator. I expect to see more of his work in the coming years in Texas and throughout.” Crystal Martinez Actor / Filmmaker
