Jay Mackenzie Roach, a talented individual, was born in Oklahoma City, where he was fortunate enough to be raised by loving parents, John and Caryn Roach, who undoubtedly played a significant role in shaping his early life.
As he entered his teenage years, Jay found himself at a crossroads, lacking direction and purpose, which ultimately led to a life-altering event - a car accident that occurred when he was just nineteen years old.
The aftermath of the accident was a challenging period for Jay, as he was left unable to walk for six long months. During this time, he was forced to rely on other forms of entertainment, and it was during this period of prolonged inactivity that he developed a profound interest in the world of cinema.
As he began to regain his physical strength, Jay dedicated himself to honing his skills in the creative arts, spending the next five years perfecting his craft in the realms of acting, writing, and editing.
In 2003, Jay's hard work and dedication culminated in the formation of Roach Productions, a company that would go on to produce his first feature film, marking a significant milestone in his career as a filmmaker.
