Jeremy is a New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) Video Fellow, and was a founding partner and co-creative head of Studio Nos, an award winning independent animation studio in Brooklyn NY from 2006 - 2018. In 2015 Nos were selected by Sony to be one of 26 international artists to create a short film for the launch of their Action Cam. Jeremy was also one of the original beta testers for Dragonframe Stop Motion software. Now considered the industry standard, it was first used during production of the United Airlines Heart commercial for the 2008 Olympics, on which Jeremy was the first animator as well as lead puppet builder.
