Lj Presents: Tyrel Ventura

L. Jeffrey Moore

Tyrel Ventura is one of my good friends that I've known for about 20 years. I met him when I was living in Minneapolis at the tail end of his father's (Jesse Ventura) term as governor of Minnesota. Before he began his career as a news commentator for RT's Watching the Hawks he began making short films and being a part of a few independent features. His training for all this came from real world experience as he worked for academy award winner Sean Penn as his personal assistant. It was there that he began to learn from veteran filmmakers like Clint Eastwood and Alejandro G. Iñárritu.

From there he relocated to Los Angeles Ca where he produced tv shows like Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura and the films: The Wanderers, American Rescue Squad, and my short film The Rage. It was then that he met his co-anchor and friend Tabetha Wallace as they aired the YouTube news commentary show: Buzzsaw.

With the success of Buzzsaw Tyrel pitched a new show to RTtv and Watching the Hawks was created and is now enjoying 2 seasons of being on the air.

We began our conversation talking about past tv shows video games and the movies that we saw and liked. We later talked about life in DC and the difference between working in the Hollywood system and commenting on the political system and main stream media in DC and the rest of the U.S. Enjoy.
