A rare glimpse of Jeff in front of a camera.
Jeff Fong is a writer, director and producer based in Sacramento, California, and the CEO of The Film Squad, a production company known for cinematic, story-driven work across commercial, documentary, and narrative spaces.
He has written six feature screenplays, including Pal’s Quest for the Silly Woman, which was recognized in multiple screenwriting competitions, including the Oaxaca FilmFest in Oaxaca, Mexico. His work often blends grounded emotion with humor, often drawing from his experience as a Chinese and Italian (Hapa) Asian American storyteller navigating identity, family, and belonging.
In addition to his commercial and narrative work, Jeff is the founder of Modest Film Society, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting local filmmakers through screenings, education, and community-driven initiatives.
With over two decades of experience, Jeff continues to create work rooted in authenticity, connection, and a deep respect for the stories people carry.
Outside of filmmaking, he enjoys D&D, playing guitar, and occasionally reminding people he was once an NCAA tennis champion.
