Jeffrey Morgan is a documentary filmmaker. Born in California and raised in Alaska, Jeffrey made fifteen short films before finishing high school and with the financial assistance from his Native American tribe, the Fallon Paiute, he graduated from NYU’s Kanbar Institute of Film and Television in 1999. His debut documentary feature “Lillie & Leander: A Legacy of Violence” world premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival to much acclaim and was co-presented by the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian.

Jeffrey chats with Derek about how growing up in a small town in Alaska led to his interest in film, attending New York University’s film program, and how a meeting with Alice Brewton Hurwitz resulted in the making of “Lillie & Leander: A Legacy of Violence.” He also talks about the town of Jay was mentioned throughout production and how the story of Gus Benjamin’s murder led to the creation of the “Welcome to Jay” documentary.
