Hey! My name is Jess. I'm an award-winning short film filmmaker, photographer, and writer based in Calgary, AB, Canada.

I am a storyteller at heart. Filmmaking and photography are the languages I use to explore truth, beauty, and the depth of the human experience. Whether I’m behind the lens or piecing together a story in the editing room, I see every frame as an invitation to reveal something sacred; something that speaks to the soul.

I’m drawn to moments that are raw, poetic, and full of quiet meaning. My work often weaves together themes of faith, identity, and transformation, reflecting my belief that stories, when told with honesty and imagination, can heal, connect, and change us. I create because I believe art has the power to restore brokenness, to shine light in dark places, and remind us that we are not alone.

Visual storytelling is how I make sense of a world that often doesn’t. It helps me find beauty in the mundane and express what words sometimes can’t. I’m drawn to stories that invite us to see and feel before we understand—stories told through motion, intentional visuals, and a sense of wonder. Whether behind the camera or in the edit suite, I aim to bring imagination, integrity, and beauty into every project I touch.
