DeWitt was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania during the summer of 1971. He has always had a passion for the arts since birth. His passion was given confidence when his mother took him to see George Lucas' Star Wars during the summer of 77. This film had such a significant impact on his life. His first stop to learning filmmaking was the library, reading the works of established filmmakers such as Oscar Micheaux, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Brian DePalma, Gordon Parks, Melvin Van Peebles, Rod Serling to name a few.A few years after film school, life, and family he received his first job on a full-length feature film as a cinematographer on film director Bobby Peoples' drama "The Black Love Stories Vol 1." Shortly after, he was hired to write and direct his first film which was an action horror film called, "Night of the Jackals." This film would display all of his wit, and intelligent writing-directing style with sly humor. The film was a critical success but not financially impressive. DeWitt would shortly break from TPN to create his own film company, Steel City Pictures. Steel City Pictures' first release was a psychological Christian Sci-Fi thriller anthology called, "Uncanny" which he wrote, directed, and produced. Even though the film was a critical success, it was not well received by many due to the abstract "Twin Peaks" style of thriller in an "Any Town USA" area. However, Uncanny would spark a trilogy that would give him his best cinematic achievement to date, the mind-warping thriller "IMagine." DeWitt Jones stated that this film was the hardest film he has ever done. He intentionally tried to create the most difficult thriller where the audience would be imprisoned by their fear and imagination. This is a formula that Alfred Hitchcock and Brian DePalma exercised religiously throughout their films. Therefore, DeWitt closely followed the same formula and created a breakout hit. Critics are praising "IMagine" as a firestorm of unpredictable loops and swirls.DeWitt Jones' imagination is endless. He has no signs of slowing down. He will still push out great films of wonder, excitement, and fun.
