Jett Loe

Jett Loe is an American television director and artist. He currently lives in Nashville, Tennessee where he takes on a variety of artistic projects such as his weekly podcasts, Letter To America and The Film Talk.

Very little is known of Loe's past, and in Letter To America he is deliberately secretive about his personal history. Loe has mentioned on his podcast that he has changed his name and spouse several times throughout his life and that he has on multiple occasions been arrested and jailed; whether this is true or merely the fictional version of himself on the podcast is unclear.

What is known is that Loe is originally from San Francisco. He attended Kennedy High School in Richmond, California under the name Jetsun Eddy. Loe purports to maintain a residence in Taos, where he worked as patent agent in New Mexico and Arizona for some of this time and also directed documentaries, short films, and pornography. He moved to London in his early twenties.

Loe worked on productions for Channel 4, LWT and Sky before joining Telewest as creative director in 2001, his job to generate original content to attract customers to Telewest. With a small customer base, and a limited budget, Loe's scope was constrained. "FutureFear", a series of seven 5-minute episodes loosely resting in the science fiction thriller genres, is the only known production [ [http://www.telewest.co.uk/ourcompany/pressreleases/telewestcommissionsbroadbanddrama.html Broadband, digital TV, mobile & phone - sport, news & entertainment - Virgin Media ] ] . Telewest were ahead of their time - with original content only becoming "de jour" in 2006. He later worked as senior commissioning editor for Broadband at Flextech.

In 2004, Loe received an offer from Philip Morrow to produce the UK network version of Just for Laughs for BBC1 with Wild Rover Productions. He subsequently moved to Belfast and spent several years working for Wild Rover Productions as well as taking on personal artistic projects such as directing short films.
