Welcome, Friends!

I am so glad that you found this page.

Throughout my life, three things have been constant. I have always been a storyteller and educator, but foremost I am a perpetual student. It’s important to learn as much as possible, if you are to ever be an expert at something. I’ve learned a lot about a lot of different things. Some people might call me a Renaissance Man or a Jack-of-all-trades, but I usually say I’m more than an amateur at many, but I’m an expert of none.

That’s not exactly true though, and therein lies the rub. If I admit, I was trying to be humble, was I really showing humility in the first place? That’s for you to find out, I guess.

I love creating worlds and stories within those worlds. I hope you enjoy reading them, watching them, or learning about them.

Your humble servant,

Jared K Chapman

Jared K Chapman‘s dark dystopian superhero fantasy murder thriller earned 5-Stars from Readers’ Favorites.

“If the conflict of man versus society is the novel’s selling point, then it has a relevant twist that is enough to keep you turning pages. It has sufficient tools to dig into character motivation and explore options for a character fighting for self-preservation. Jared K. Chapman’s prose elevates Mario’s fight for survival above its horrific and melodramatic scenarios and in this has its bright moments.“

2HVØRHVNØT: To Have Or Have Not, Jared Chapman

Interview with Jared K Chapman, Author of 2HVØRHVNØT: To Have Or Have Not

My interest in making films began in 8th grade when a videographer asked me to assist him for a wedding in Red Deer, AB, Canada. However, I have always been a fan of films and movies, starting with my first movie, Star Wars, when I was one-month-old. I know I have no true memory of experiencing it in the drive-in, but I was there.

In 2010, I started an independent media production company called redchapCREATIVE. I shot a pilot for a TV show called Culinary Animal. I was paid to write several screenplays that have not yet been made into films. Hollywood is a tough business.

I made several short films that played in festivals, and I continue to do paid work in film and video production. I have always loved the visual medium, and I hope to make at least one feature length film in my life.

Here is a collection of some of my work: redchapCREATIVE on VIMEO

In 2018, I earned my certification to become an educator for the WSET Level 1 and 2 Awards in Sprits. Soon after, I started the Southern California School of Whiskey to become the only instructor-led WSET Spirits Awards provider in Southern California. Due to the Covid lockdown, those courses have moved to online instruction and exams. I enjoy teaching about spirits, and especially whiskies. This experience is some of the most fun I’ve had as an educator.

However, I am currently working toward completing my doctorate in psychology, which will allow me to teach psychology at a college or university. I enjoy teaching, building up students, and helping them on their own journeys.
