James, a native Californian, was born on November 28, 1979, and spent his formative years in the Golden State. His upbringing was marked by the loving influence of his Native American mother, Betty, who played a significant role in shaping his early life. As the middle child, sandwiched between an older brother and a younger sister, James developed a strong sense of family values and a deep appreciation for the importance of sibling relationships.
As he grew older, James's creative ambitions began to take shape, ultimately leading him to co-found Zombot Pictures in 2012 alongside Adriana Mather and Anya Remizova. This innovative production company has made a name for itself by championing diversity in both the talent pool and the creative team, striving to break down barriers and challenge traditional norms in the film industry.
Under the Zombot Pictures banner, James has been involved in the production of a number of critically acclaimed films, including the thought-provoking dramas "Eat Spirit Eat", "Honeyglue", and "We Are Boats". These projects have not only showcased James's dedication to his craft but also his commitment to promoting representation and inclusivity in the world of cinema.
