Jamie Meltzer made his documentary feature film debut with Off the Charts: the Song-Poem Story, which was acquired by ITVS/PBS for the series Independent Lens. The film was broadcast nationally on PBS in February 2003, has played at film festivals worldwide, and toured throughout rock clubs in the US (paired with such acts as NRBQ, Robbie Fulks, and Edith Frost).

 

His latest documentary feature, Welcome to Nollywood, investigates the wildly successful Nigerian movie industry. It premiered at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival and screened nationally on PBS in 2008 as part of the new series AfroPOP, hosted by Idris Elba.

 

Mr. Meltzer teaches in the MFA Program for Documentary Film and Video at Stanford University.
