Jarrod Saunders is an entertainment journalist, filmmaker, and the founder of Fortress of Solitude. He began his career as a film and gaming critic for Vision Magazine in 2007 and has spent nearly two decades building one of pop culture's most distinctive independent media voices.
As an award-winning creative director, Jarrod has worked across film, graphic design, sound engineering, advertising, and web production. He founded Fortress Entertainment — a media network that includes Fortress of Solitude, Sneaker Fortress, 23 Jumpman Street, and Lifestyle Fortress — and serves as Editor in Chief across all properties.

As a filmmaker, Jarrod holds IMDb credits as writer and director on Three Little Pigs, Sleeping Beauty, and The Living Dead: How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse.

Throughout his career he has conducted on-the-record interviews with actors, directors, and game developers for Fortress of Solitude and The Direct. He also contributes to MyFaith Magazine.
Jarrod watches over 500 films a year. Outside of work, he collects sneakers — over 100 pairs and counting — and serves as an ordained deacon at his local church.
