 Born in Endicott, NY, Jeremy Yuricek became familiar with computers as a young kid growing up in an IBM
town. As a teenager, he began taking photographs when IBM relocated his father to England. While there,
Yuricek attended an international school and took a photography class, where he came to realize that
creating images could be a potential career path. Living outside London, Jeremy frequently ventured to
the city to see concerts, bringing his camera along with him (see final photo in the porfolio from 1994).
Returning to upstate New York for his senior year of high school, Yuricek continued to learn more about
digital imaging and marveled at what a new piece of software, Adobe Photoshop, could do. At the dawn of
digital photography, Jeremy headed to Florida Atlantic University where he evolved with technology. As
a communications major there, his interest began leading towards motion picture. Yuricek was one of the
first students to edit video projects at home on a customized personal computer. (Note - The professors
were not too keen of this advantage while the other students' had to use the school's reel-to-reel
systems.)
Yuricek also worked part-time as a "Technology Specialist" for Morgan Stanley during college and spent his extra money on his own filmmmaking gear. When the
dot-com era began, Jeremy, and his college roommate, began dabbling in creating websites on the side.
Yuricek's degree in film / video and experience in web design led to a quick post-college job offer with
Florida-based Hollywood Media Corp. where Jeremy soon became Creative Director for Broadway.com.
While working for Broadway.com and upon meeting his future wife, Yuricek moved to New York City where he continues to work on his passion for motion picture and design. Since 2003, Yuricek has directed about a dozen music videos across multiple genres, designed several motion graphics projects and has overseen over a hundred web site designs. With pages of notes and observations accumulating over the years, Jeremy is planning to write and direct a feature film in due time. |
