About

I’m Jett Farrell-Vega, a freelance writer based in beautiful Central Florida (previously Colorado). My areas of expertise include travel, faith & culture, fantasy fiction, lifehacks, and the film/tv industry.

My day job for over a decade was in the film and television industry, providing production support and craft services for clients such as American Idol, Fox Films, Discovery Channel, Food Network, Range Rover, Jeep-Chrysler-Dodge, and more. Those two jobs basically meant that I would help make on-set problems disappear or keep the crew well-fed and happy. I’ve had the pleasure of working with respected industry professionals like the Emmerich Brothers, Noam Murro, Victoria Beckham, Devin Supertramp, WWE Superstar Cody Rhodes, Eric Roberts, and Dean Cain.  My education includes an A.A.S in Film Production at the Film School at the Scottsdale School of Film+Theater as well as a B.F.A in Film, Theater, and Television Production at the University of Colorado Denver. My time in the industry has given me a wealth of experience to draw on for writing, as well as extensive knowledge on production of commercials, features, and reality television.

One of the professional services I offer is transcription for documentary and reality TV footage. I have years of experience turning mountains of footage into readable scripts. Some of my previous clients include Food Network Challenge, Cake Boss, Weather Channel’s Prospectors, and University of Colorado Hospital. Shoot me an email if you would like a consult.

I also work as a Student and Worship Pastor in Central Florida–basically, my husband and I help teenagers navigate faith in Jesus and teach them how to live loving God and others. Previously, my husband I worked among Denver’s South Asian immigrant population, particularly among the Bhutanese-Nepali refugees. These are individuals whose citizenship in the country of Bhutan was revoked due to their Nepali heritage (which tied into a number of complex political issues). They faced horrendous human rights violations, and the majority of the teens my husband and I work with were born in refugee camps in Nepal. Thousands have been brought to the United States and are now on the path to citizenship. I also had the pleasure of participating in a mission to Uganda, Africa. I write about Christianity and culture on a personal blog (now laid to rest) and have also contributed to RelevantMagazine.com. I’m available for speaking and teaching opportunities through the missions organization we’re under, Global Outreach Foundation.

My favorite subject for writing since moving the beautiful Florida has been contributing on the topic of travel. I’m a regular contributor for Theme Park Tourist, an excellent source for news and features on Walt Disney World, Orlando-area parks, and beyond. My specialties include tips, tricks, and hacks for your next vacation, exploring the ins and outs of Disney parks, especially Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. If you would like to read some of my latest material, you can see a list of my pieces for the site on my profile page.

Other areas I enjoy writing about include productivity, lifehacks, and tips for other writers. I also have strong experience in travel, particularly regarding Walt Disney World trip planning, Hawaii, Colorado, and Arizona. Other specialties include history, literature, reviews, and software tips for programs like Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, and Chrome.

As far as narrative work, I love speculative fiction. I am currently editing my third completed (yet-to-be-published) novel, The Walker Was, which is the first in an epic fantasy series about the adventures of a company of rangers. I received an honorable mention in Writer’s Digest’s Annual Writing Contest for my screenplay, Persephone. You can read excerpts of my fiction on the Books page.
