Lionel R. Jeffries

Lionel R Jeffries is a writer and filmmaker from Connecticut whose creative interests include history, introspection, the supernatural, and the strange. Born to an American mother and English father, he deeply values both his regional identity as a New Englander and his European ancestry. A formative creative experience for Jeffries was collaborating with the Narragansett Indian Tribe to create Living Swamp, a student film broadcasted on Rhode Island PBS that protests the whitewashing of colonial genocide, for which he acted as its researcher, storyteller, and first-time analog filmmaker.
