Stuart Deacon Jr.

            Born in South Shields, England, Stuart moved to Idaho when he was 3 years old. Since then, he's lived in St. Anthony, Meridian, Idaho Falls, Sugar City, and now Rexburg.

            It was during his time in Meridian that Stuart persuaded the other boy scouts to get the cinematography merit badge by making an hour-long Indiana Jones film. From there, Stuart made many trailers commemorating films and characters from which he drew inspiration.

            Stuart moved into a more serious approach to film during his high school years, taking part in festivals his senior year.

            He is currently studying film at BYU-Idaho, produces a local Beatles tribute band, performs in the East Idaho Renaissance Faire, and donates his time and talents during the Christmas season as a Santa Claus.
