My Name Is Jerry is an independent film produced by IDEE and Clothespin Productions. It was shot on location in Muncie, Indiana, during the Summer of 2008.  This project is an ambitious undertaking aimed at competing with commercial films in the market place. The production involved a unique combination of professionals filling top positions, and students enrolled in this BSU immersion program as the film’s crew.
 

 

 

 

 

A group of promotions students are working during the Spring Semester to find ways to market the film through digital and social media. A second group of video production students will be editing short videos about how to make a movie for use in educational publications.

A quick synopsis of the film:  As a salesman, Jerry Arthur (Doug Jones) drifts through days filled by slamming doors and low expectations. He's a middle-aged divorcee with a daughter he hasn't spoken to in years, a dead-end job, and low self-esteem.  But, when he encounters the right mix of punk rock mentality and a few unique friends, he gets a rare chance to wake up from life and finally start living.
