Who is Jeffrey George Moline?

Jeffrey George Moline grew up a cowboy on a farm on a dirt road outside of Austin Minnesota – where the meat product Spam is created. He was a stranger in his home due to his sexuality. He grew up in a musical family. In 1980 at 19 years old he left his home and family and moved to Los Angeles where he overcame more adversity. He became strong and created a wonderful uniquely American family of his own. I have been a creator, an artist all my life. Life on lifes’ terms can be challenging and disappointing. We have jobs, bills, expectations, illness, misfortune – that stall or stop our idea of progress based on our perceived idea of what success looks like. It was age 65 when my lifetime of experience as a musician and storyteller combined with filmmaking and the support of friends and loved ones, that I was able to bring Grandpa’s Got A Brand New Pill to life.

Do you remember the exact moment you fell in love with cinema?

 I was 8 years old and Mae West was my first – Hollywood Diva. On saturday nights at midnight KROC TV station out of Rochester Minnesota played old Hollywood Comedies. I was breaking the rules by staying up late, with my face inches from the old black and white television in the basement, the sound down low. Miss West impressed me because she wrote her own material and strutted across the screen, but I also loved W.C. Fields, The Marx Brothers. From then on I read any and everything I could, about film, film stars, the picture business and Hollywood. When I moved to Hollywood I would often go to watch these classics on the big screen at revival theaters.

Tell us about your project “Grandpa’s Got A Brand New Pill”.

Our short musical film began as a song inspired by my then 80 year old mothers boyfriend taking too much Viagra and thinking he was having a heart attack. I then decided at age 65 to reinvent myself as a musical artist and take my talents outside the world of dingy clubs and into the world as a musician and filmmaker. So I wrote a short story about a fiesty woman on the eve of her 96th birthday who insists on a happy ending so she shows up with Viagra and weed. The senior residents of Shady Nook get happy and the police are called.  Having lived in Hollywood so long I’ve met many actors so I reached out to my friends and tailored the parts for their particular talents. Grandpa’s Got A Brand New Pill has provoked laughter around the globe. Our next short musical comedy film is titled Two Tears In A Bucket and begins shooting late this summer of 2026.

Which Director inspires you the most?

Luc Besson – I enjoy the world he creates in his films. The Fifth Element is one of my favorite films. The color, the costumes and characters are amazing. I also love Indian films with dancing scenes.

What do you dislike about the world and what would you change?

Obviously LGBT hatred. It is difficult to navigate a hostile world. I practice Nichiren Buddhism with the SGI USA. I believe a person can undergo an inner transformation, a human revolution, a change in their character and that act itself provokes change and transformation in our physical environment. I have seen this play out in my own personal life. So I am helping make a change for the better by continuing to listen, learn, grow and change and cultivating my humanity daily.

How do you imagine cinema in 100 years?

Everyone will be able to use AI to make personal films.

What is your impression of WILD FILMMAKER?

It feels like a wonderful opportunity to connect to other filmmakers, connect to festivals and meet other wonderful people who create and love art.
