Jon Mezzera has lived his entire life in the Bay Area. While attending St. Ignatius College Prep. in San Francisco, his interest in film switched from casual every day moviegoer, to film enthusiast while attending a film class his senior year. That, and a desire to become a film critic led him to attend San Francisco State University where he obtained a B.A. in Cinema in May of 2001.
While in college and for a few years after, Jon worked on several short film projects. His jobs included grip work, script supervision assistant camera operation, actor, screenwriter, assistant editor, and advisor. He even directed his own student film, "The Rut" in the spring of his junior year at SFSU. Working on those various student and short films made Jon realize that he would much rather talk and write about movies than work on them. But, he still had a creative drive which at first manifested itself in feature length screen plays. After getting burned out on that, he decided to take one of his story ideas and just write it as a novel which he completed in the summer of 2004. That fall, he signed with a literary agent who's working to find a buyer for his first novel. He has since written a second novel as well.
Currently, Jon lives in Fairfield, California. He just got married and is living happily with his wife Allison!
