About Jay Bird

I have over 28 years (20 since college) of film and screenwriting experience in Movies, TV Shows, Theater & Commercials. An award winning published poet, and photographer; worked on and off camera, in TV studios, Theaters and on location w/ experience in Directing, Scriptwriting/Supervising, Assistant Directing and Producing in a professional environment.My goals are simple:To continue my growth as a writer and director while working on multifarious film/video/theatrical productions. Creating is so tremendously rewarding that I just want to continue doing it for as long as I can. Learning new techniques, equipment and all other facets of this exciting and entertaining industry along the way.Titles are unimportant to me. I love what I do, whether it's Directing, AD, Camera Op, or any creative facet of production. NOTE: My biggest endeavor outside of film, is to start a non profit organization to help the homeless and abused children. This is my ultimate life goal. I'm currently developing a television series that will effectuate actual change in regards to the homeless and this ever-growing crisis. The long term goal is to create an ongoing television series. To get started however I'm considering making a full length documentary which will in essence show what the series will be and how it will work by helping out a few families / individuals; then submitted to film festivals etc... Once people see the idea in action; once network executives get their hands on it... I am very confident the project will take off like wildfire! If you're an investor or interested Producer please feel to get in touch and I'll go over it with you in more detail.(Pending your autograph on an NDA of course. ;) )You may see more information on the Homeless project (and others) on the Behance Network posted below. Please feel free to check it out and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from you.

  • Tba
    Homeless In Suburbia
    Tba Apr 2011 - Present
    Country-Wide
    In development of a philanthropic new television project to help the homeless, and abused children.If you were homeless, would you rather live in the frightful dark and dirty alleyways of the inner city, or would you rather live in the cleaner and safer suburban neighborhoods surrounding it?Experts say: Homelessness affects 1% of the U.S. Population or approximately 1.3 million people annually. On any given night there is at least 700k homeless in America and this figure does not include the suburbs. With more than half of the United States population currently living in suburban areas, the actual number of American homeless is staggering! It could potentially be in the tens of millions!!!Sadly, this is not recognized by the U.S. government.Educating the public is just one aspect of the show, but where it really takes off is in physically helping these people. I believe that I can give them a roof over their head, food to eat, medical / dental care, transportation & job training. The end result is taking a person / family off the street and giving them their life back.If you're the sort of person that cares for the well being of others, a person that wants to help, but doesn't necessarily know how, I ask only that you help support me in this cause by spreading my project to others, help me create awareness. When my show airs, I will credit you in my heart for helping me to save lives!Interested investors: This is not only a charitable opportunity, but a tremendous opportunity to positively market your business/yourself, and yes of course make money.The success of this project (in the United States) lends itself to sister productions in every country across the globe. Homelessness (like the common cold) can affect anyone and everyone. When the world sees the difference we’re making with the success of this show, it will behoove them to do the same, and that will increase our revenue exponentially!Ask me how we can make a 'real' difference.

    South Florida
    The Everglades Wildlife Alliance is an NPO that tracks, investigates, and educates the public on local invasive species of all varieties and their effects not only on the environment but to the natural wildlife that they destroy.We're a non profit organization whose mission is to track invasive species in the Florida Everglades and monitor how they are disrupting and destroying the environment; paying specific attention to the abundance of wildlife that call South Florida home.Initially we're looking into the full on epidemic known locally as "The Python War" - Aptly named. There shouldn't be any Pythons or snakes of the sort in the everglades, but were introduced to the population approximately 2 decades ago, including Rock Pythons & even Anacondas! With no natural enemies in the area they are now the apex predator of the swamp with estimates over 100,000 and growing!Wildlife populations are being eviscerated and with dozens of endangered species locally... this situation is extreme!As of now there is no protocol to take care of the problem, our goal is to educate through entertainment and raise funding to continue sharing our ever evolving knowledge with the public in the hopes of making positive changes to our worldly environments.Our mission statement does encompass all invasive species (plants, bacteria etc...) as well as general, care, concern and overall Everglades understanding. We have recently worked with Barry University and have plans to work with and educate not just other universities, but to take younger students on educational & supervised field trips into the glades with the EWA via live remote satellite feeds broadcast to schools with Beacon TV.Recently became involved with the ECISMA Steering Committee. The group coordinates the Everglades Cooperative Invasive Species Management Areas.

It played to a sold out crowd (standing room only!!!). An incredible feat considering the short amount of time it took to all come together. In the days since, people have been coming out of the woodwork asking for encore performances and new dates for the show!In March of 2015 those wishes came true as Theater of Vampires did a 3 week run at The Abyss Stage and Studio in Wilton Manors, FL to repeated sold out crowds. During the 2nd run, I also did the photography and videography as new cast members took over several of the roles.
