JB. Holbert spent his childhood in a suburb of St. Louis. At 15 he moved to North Dakota with his mother who was returning to her roots. At 22 he moved to Minnesota and the lakes he had loved since childhood.
For forty years his work took him off the beaten path around the world, from the Eiffel Tower to the Great Wall, Graceland to the White House, Theme Parks to National Parks, the sidelines of the NFL to the red carpet at the Emmy’s.
Starting as an extra in Prince’s 1984 Purple Rain, he’s been drawn to storytelling, screenwriting and the film industry. He recently returned to North Dakota where he joined Canticle Productions as a producer on two current films, Hazel and Medora, Empress of the Badlands. Watch for the release of these films here.
Watch for the release of his first book, Sum of Our Choices, due out spring 2026.
