Mr. Varga grew up in Flint, Michigan (yes, the town Michael Moore made famous).

There he learned the art of making low budget productions look like they were made for millions more.

After serving James Cameron on “The Abyss,” he shared in an Academy Award for outstanding special effects for “Terminator II,” having staffed the artists and supervised the miniatures for the nuclear blast and hot steel pour sequences. He has also worked on “Robot,” “Blade 3,” “Spiderman II,” “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” “Fantastic Four” and “Live Free or Die Hard.”

In the 90s, juggling multiple career objectives, Mr. Varga became a reputable creative force behind the filming of commercials and television productions. He has worked with ABC, CBS, NBC, WB, Carolco, HBO, Sony, MGM, 20th Century Fox, Paramount, and Universal among many others and has worked on TV shows including “Star Trek: Enterprise,” “Gilmore Girls,” “Malcolm In The Middle” and “Drew Carey's Green Screen Show.” He directed numerous commercial spots including Smirnoff, Electrolux and AT&T.

Mr. Varga also spent a number of years as a marketing adviser to independent producers and distributors, cutting movie trailers and designing movie posters. One of his proudest achievements was originating the “Scream” movie key art concept. His long-term clients have included Joel Coler, former Head of Marketing for 20th Century Fox, and Michael Baumohl, former V.P. of Int'l Marketing at Warner Bros. and Lucasfilm's European division. He helped launch a new theatrical distribution company, AMPG, serving as its Creative Director for movie releases such as “Dinner Rush.”

In 2008 he created “Dead End City: The Series,” a “Sin City”-style made-for-TV episodic shot completely on green screen with all computer generated backgrounds and starring Big Hollywood contributor Gary Graham (“Star Trek: Enterprise,” “Alien Nation”). Jeff is still trying to find a home for this show and continues to pursue financing for a kids' action adventure film entitled “Prayer Warrior.”
