About Me

“Just be him!” was my line. According to my parents, this was my plea to get them to participate as a character in my creations. You see, I have had a passion for bringing my imagination to life since I was a very young child. My parents often recount memories of me mentally creating a stage and a storyline, then putting them into production at home or even on the school playground with my friends. Sometimes I was a superhero, sometimes a video game character, but who I was didn’t matter. I just wanted to create stories and characters that would entertain not only me but the whole world.

​As I grew older, technology became my new outlet. My mom’s phone camera provided me with a new past-time taking photos and videos. By the time I was in 4th grade, I had discovered comic books and had started writing short stories and making comics. As I grew older, the family camera and video camera opened me up to new possibilities. My brother and friends were always available to help me bring my next idea to life. Today, my favorite stories to create are those that entertain and engage, whether it be through suspense or by creating an emotional connection to my audience.

My name is Cole Janes. I enjoy creating short films, short stories, and photographs, and turning them into something amazing. To me, it’s fun to use my imagination to create a world in which I can play. I get to escape into the world I have created for myself. Please enjoy my website and feel free to comment on any of the works listed.
