John Robb Saunders

West New York native, Voluisa County bred. From a kid with his mom's camera filming his friends at the skatepark off Nova, to a few thousand pages of script to his name. An auteur maybe not the most talented, but easily the one with the most heart.

While filmmaking was a fundamental part of his teenage years, Saunders also traveled rigorously while playing in Florida's youth soccer circuit for a handful of different clubs in Central Florida. He was invited to play at college showcases in North Carolina, and attended numerous other high-profile tournaments. Nearing the end of high school, he elected to forgo pursuing playing at the collegiate level, closing that chapter of his life.

Immediately after graduating high school in 2016, Saunders began taking his artistic pursuits more seriously, initially attending the University of North Florida that fall. He transferred to Florida State at the end of his freshman year, but after only one semester there, Saunders decided college life was not for him, and that he wanted to fully begin a career in film. He remained enrolled, but switched to a completely online course load, and moved back home to Daytona Beach.
