Terence Lee Cover

Born in 1983, in the tiny, redneck, Ohio village of Mount Gilead, Terence was destined for rural living. Thankfully, in high school, he realized he loved filmmaking while working on video projects for various classes. At 18, he moved out, got married, and became a manager of the local movie theatre in a slightly larger, redneck, Ohio town. At 21, he divorced his wife, quit his job, and finally went to film school. Terence attended The Motion Picture Institute of Michigan while still living in Ohio. He drove 7 hours, round trip, 3 days a week to attend there and worked at a small ice cream shop in Mount Gilead to pay for his first 16mm short film, An Exercise In Narcissism. After graduating M.P.I. in September of 2005 he finally moved to Michigan to begin his career in the film industry. He's worked on films of every caliber ranging from short, no-budget horror films with no script shot on VHS to several hundred thousand dollar feature films shot on 35mm film. He's also been known to get gigs as a casting P.A. on a network and cable channel reality shows when they're casting in the Detroit area. He's held every position at every step in the filmmaking process at least once, whether it be Production Assistant or Director. Though primarily an editor, his directorial debut, An Exercise In Narcissism, has played in film festivals as far away as Berlin, Germany, and continues to find venues to play in. In addition to being an award-winning filmmaker, he is a published poet and an accomplished sculptor whose pieces have appeared in several Detroit gallery shows.
