Writer/Director Jamin Winans
Jamin Winans was born on December 4th, 1977. He grew up near Denver, Colorado and had an interest in film since the age of 10. Growing up in a family that didn’t own a TV for much of his childhood, Winans naturally became fascinated by TV and the movies. At the age of 10 he picked up a camera and never set it down. By the age of 14, he was writing, directing, and editing his own films, and by 17 he wrote and directed his first feature length film.

After graduating from high school, he spent a year as a film student before leaving college to begin his professional film career in his hometown of Denver, Colorado. In 1998, Winans established Double Edge Films - a film company striving to create original and independent work.

Double Edge Films’ primary goal was to produce their first feature film “11:59”. This began a seven-year journey, over which time Winans wrote and directed numerous projects including two critically acclaimed short films; “Blanston” and “The Maze”. The financial backing for “11:59” was finally realized after “Blanston” was accepted and screened at the prestigious Cinequest International Film Festival during the spring of 2003. Winans began production of “11:59” during the fall of 2003. Completed in 2005, “11:59” premiered at the Montreal World Film Festival and has continued a successful festival run winning the following awards: best narrative feature at the Kansas International Film Festival, best feature at the Flint Film Festival, best editing at the Cyprus International Film Festival and nominated for best screenplay at The Method Fest Film Festival. “11:59” is now available for purchase at www.DoubleEdgeFilms.com
along with “Spin” on a combo DVD.

In addition to their fictional work, Winans and the Double Edge Films team write, direct and produce local and national
commercials, music videos and promotional and industrial videos.

Producer Joe Sekiya
Joe Sekiya, 26, was born in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. In high school Joe started to take his love of movies more seriously by requesting that he be allowed to turn in a movie instead of an essay about the topics discussed in class. He graduated in 1997 and went on to pursue a marketing degree at Metro State in Denver.

During that time he met Jamin Winans and in 1998 Joe teamed up with Jamin to produce the feature film “11:59”. During the next seven years Jamin and Joe continued to raise money to produce “11:59” and in the meantime they produced several short films including “Blanston” and “The Maze”, and the latest, “SPIN”.

In the fall of 2006, Joe moved to Los Angeles to pursue other endeavors in the film industry.
