Having graduated from La Fémis’ directing program in 2019, Jessica has co-written and directed several short films, including, most notably, "By the sweat of your brow" and "Perfect Body," which were selected in numerous festivals (Gérardmer, PÖFF shorts, Fantaspoa...). Her cinematic universe sits at the intersection between fantasy, science fiction, and horror.

Her passion for technique has also lead her to work regularly as an editor as well. Read less
