JoDa Hodge is a novelist, filmmaker and director of the New York Film and Television Festival. He was born to a teacher and a carpenter from Jersey on a Vermont commune near the abandoned Lyndonville Air Force Station-whose guards first saw the lights in the sky later to "abduct" Betty and Barney Hill.
With degrees in English, Psychology and Communications, he quit his WCAX-TV News cameraman job, rode his Harley solo cross-country and published Freedom Road-a travel memoir battling the broken American Dream. Now he is penning book #24.
JoDa built a cabin on an old Christmas tree farm to write Departed Harvest, winning the Rhode Island Film Festival Screenplay Competition and more.
Inspirations: JoDa's friend was a grower in the deadly Humboldt underground to finance his Rock band, blended with JoDa's commune-Air Force Base heritage-and the loss of his little Brother, the legendary Nate-in addition to Helltown, OH, the Love Canal and Celebrationtown, FL.
These allegorical stories galvanize our dystopian tale, set one week into the future, co-produced by Navajo actor, inspirational speaker and producer, Loren Anthony; and Cassandra Seidenfeld, writing a Woody Allen series.
JoDa Kickstarted, wrote, produced, directed, shot and edited a short Departed Harvest film (with an awesome film team) at the actor Luis Guzman's home in Sutton, Vermont. JoDa was not paid for a new roof he installed on the home and his beloved cat was killed by Luis' pit bull. Then...
Now JoDa is producing Departed Harvest, Hard Power and Hippie Bus; raising his daughter with a wonderful woman; and building an indelible "Film Farm."
