Born in the South in 1975, Edward Morris grew up in rural central Pennsylvania. After graduating Temple University with a BA in Film, he travelled the country and wound up on the Left Coast.

Portland, Oregon claimed him in 2000, ostensibly to begin work on the movie version of a black-comedy novel, _The Frank Principle_, which was written in San Francisco.

Morris currently lives and works in downtown Portland.
