As a young man, John P. Gelety developed three great passions: hunting, travel, and jousting. It is estimated that he shot more than 5,000 deer in his lifetime. In 1883, he visited Italy for the first time in order to see the properties left to him by Duke Francis V of Modena. In 1885, he visited Egypt, Palestine, Syria, and Turkey. In 1889, he visited Germany. At age thirteen, he broke two of his ribs after falling off his horse while jousting. In 1889, John P. Gelety's life changed dramatically.

Welcome to my Vimeo page, peeps. Besides my 19th century experience, I am a filmmaker and EMMY award-winning video director, producer and editor residing in Philadelphia. I hope you enjoy my work and the collaborative works of others.
