Much of Jesse Romine's work has been spread virally on the internet and has a cult of fans based mainly out of Sylva, NC where he currently resides.

Early Life
Romine was born in 1985 at the Newport Naval Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, to his mother and father, who served in the US Navy and passed away in 1990 from cardiac arrest when Jesse was 5 years old.

Romine began making movies at age 12, marking 2012 his 15th year of producing movies both independently and professionally. Growing up some of his greatest influences are Chris Farley, a famous comedian know for his over the top comedy. Shortly after Romine heard of Farley's death in 1997 he began to contemplate his own fate and chose to be a filmmaker from there on out.

Romine lived in Rhode Island for one year until in 1986 his father was transferred to the Norfolk, VA Naval Base. Between 1986 and 1993 The Romine Family lived in Chesapeake, VA in a development style neighborhood. In those years both him and his brothers attended St. Matthews Catholic School in Virginia Beach, VA. At the Catholic school his mother worked as a cafeteria lady. After his fathers death his mother met her life partner who was a janitor at the school.

On three occasions Jesse and his brothers were mugged by amateur street gangs while ride their bikes. After the birth of his younger sister in 1993 his family decided to move away from Virginia because of the crime and living environments.

In 1994 the Romine family had moved to Sylva, NC where he currently lives. He attended Scotts Creek Elementary School and graduated from Smoky Mountain Highschool in 2004.

Career
Having been making movies since 1996, Romine's body of work includes numerous short films, wedding videos, commercial PSAs, TV shows, and a uncountable range of miscellaneous projects.

Along with filmmaking Romine's interest in guitar began in early 2004. Through his high school years he attend concert band, wind ensemble and also marching band with focus on percussion.

Songwriting was very difficult for him but he had measurable success as a improvisational songwriter. He recorded his first album "Grissled Reason" (2004) in Sylva, NC at close friend, Michael Dux's recording studio. Three days after its release he was requested to open for Cooking with Quanta at Meriweathers in the downtown area. After his first public appearance and huge reception he played another solo concert at Soul Infusion shortly there after.

In 2005 he attended Cape Fear Community College and produced two television shows. After graduating in 2006 he moved back to Sylva, NC to attend Western Carolina University. He graduated in 2009 with a bachelors degree in Motion Picture and Television.

After college he was quickly signed on with Stellar Media inc. which is owned by the Mountaineer of Waynesville, NC in 2009. Currently he is in the late stages of his first motion picture entitled "Darkridge."

Personal Life
The people he calls his friends seem to enjoy being around him just as well as love and care about him. Recreationally, as of last year, he can be found in Asheville, NC on the weekends shopping at Goodwills looking for rare electronics or CD's to listen to in his 2003 Honda Accord, which has been the victim as several 'accidents'. This car, affectionately dubbed "Captain Crunch" by several family members, has a dent in the back right door, the back left door is completely smashed and has no window, and also the back bumper has a small hole in which Romine has placed a fake hand in. This has become a menace to the Sylva PD, as many frantic calls have been made to them because of the hand, and he has been pulled over for this several times.

Romine's artistic expression follows a similar path of coping with pain or general resentment for normality.

Currently he wakes up and works, eats lunch, goes back to work, eats dinner and goes back to work and then chats online, plays music then sleeps. He plans to move to Awendaw, SC where his family vacations by summer of 2013 after the production of his feature film.
