Tempered Zealot Productions was formed in 2004 by Jerod Brennen. J. Michael Lewis, sharing similar goals and ambitions, soon teamed up with Jerod and thus began their partnership.

 

Dresden, Ohio. That's where Jerod hails from. His background includes a degree in music education, a brief stint in seminary, and years as an IT professional. With this experience under his belt, he's taken the next logical step: independent filmmaker. (Well, it makes sense to him, anyway...) Jerod is a screenwriter first, director second, and producer third… anything to get his stories on-screen.
