While Jason Stetler’s full-time gig is working as an audio-visual manager at Millersville University and plugging away at courses in pursuit of an English degree, he also moonlights as an independent filmmaker. <br /> <br /> In the film industry, he goes by the name Jake Stetler – his pen name for projects. He won awards for his screenplays, including the short film “Calf Rope,” and wrote and directed the upcoming feature-length film, “A Stray Ember,” which is currently in post-production. As a longtime fan of Westerns, a subject of several of his previous projects, he’s also a member of the Western Writers of America. <br /> <br /> Stetler says the beginnings of his creative journey began when he was about 10 years old. He’d just watched the film “First Blood,” which introduced audiences to the now-famous character Rambo, and he was left in awe. <br /> <br /> Two things happened after that viewing: first, he wanted to know who wrote the story – the film is based on the book by Stetler’s now-confessed favorite author, David Morrell. Morrell isn’t just famous for his writing. He’s best-known for his hands-on research for his thriller novels, even going so far as to become trained in firearms, hostage negotiation, assuming identities and even earning his pilot’s license. Second, the movie inspired Stetler to join the military. “I realized that I loved storytelling,” says Stetler. “And I wanted to jump out of perfectly good aircraft.”<br /> <br /> Just as he imagined, Stetler went on to join the armed forces and eventually became a paratrooper. It was a jump over the jungles of Panama, he says, that finally put things into perspective for him.
