Jerry Spears and Amanda Viola
After growing up in a tiny town in the Mid-West, Jerry Spears went away to college where he played in punk bands and majored in history until he discovered filmmaking. After that, he refocused his life on making movies. When he was 19, he and a couple of friends hitchhiked from Michigan to California and back. He learned to forge meaningful relationships with strangers on long car rides. After living in New Mexico, Jerry moved to Seattle, where he started an Ad Agency/Production company and wrote and directed his first feature film. It was on the set of that film that he met Amanda Viola, fell in love, and moved again - to Los Angeles.
Amanda Viola grew up just outside of Los Angeles in The Valley and started acting at the age of 7. Raised in a family steeped in Italian tradition, Amanda's grandmother taught her to love good food and engaged conversation. Amanda spent her 20's as a successful commercial actress and fashion model. Those jobs took her around the globe and showed her that the world is much bigger than the San Fernando Valley. She now stands on just the other side of 30, looking for the role a lifetime to fill her heart and life with adventure.
Jerry and Amanda are now engaged with plans for a BnB wedding next summer in Southern California.
