The Jeff Krulik Collection at the University of Maryland
A lifetime Marylander and graduate of the University of Maryland (B.A. English, 1983), Jeff Krulik is an independent documentarian, videographer and cultural preservationist who has built a distinct career tapping into the rich ore of local culture in the Maryland/D.C. region.
As a student at UMD in the early 1980s, Krulik was deeply involved with campus radio station WMUC, serving as both Music Director and General Manager. Following graduation in 1983, he went on to work as a producer for public access community television before landing a job at Discovery Networks in 1990. He left in 1995 to embark on a successful career as an independent producer and director.
