Meet Jessica

Photo by Jaysen Michael

Jessica Chriesman hails from Birmingham, Alabama, the Magic City. The daughter of a journalist and a librarian, she learned to craft a story at an early age. Inspired to become a filmmaker, she dedicated herself to learning the rules of filmmaking so that she can tell her stories more fully and artistically. To this end, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Filmmaking and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, where she made a variety of films. Since 2015, she has had the privilege of screening films in festivals across the United States.

Compelled by stories of people and places, in her budding career Jessica has focused on spreading the stories of nonprofit organizations and the populations they serve.

Jessica’s skills have enabled her to be able to develop and oversee any project and work with various clients adapting to their needs and delivering quality content.

When your boss lets you screen your rough cut for feedback during lunch. Complete with take out from @tedsbirmingham which is featured in the film! PHILOXENIA will be part of @southfoodways Spring Symposium next month!
So excited to be creating a short film for @southfoodways' Spring Symposium! My film, Philoxenia, will be delving into Birmingham’s deep history Greek-owned restaurants 🇬🇷
New year, New gear! Excited to have spent January breaking in my new @djiglobal Osmo pocket camera and @gatapack mask as I work on my shot doc for @southfoodways!
Spent today doing some research for a new short doc I'm excited to be directing during the first part of the year. More to come on that soon! 😉 🇬🇷
When I went to LA for my internship with @dirtyrobber the only thing I knew I absolutely wanted to do was take improv classes at @ucbtla. I spent every Sunday at class and many more hours laughing at great shows and experiencing seeing folks I loved from podcasts and TV in real life. I'm so sad to hear UCB Sunset is closing it's doors. (Yes, some of these photos are from Franklin) Me in front of the Franklin theater 2015 ➡️ UCB Sunset ➡️ Impov class graduation show backstage ➡️ Franklin Marquee ➡️ A quick and bad photo of the cast of Childrens Hospital at an Emmys FYC event. #tbt
Super excited to throw on my @sidewalkfilm mask next month and head downtown to see the films they're showing as a satellite screen during @sundanceorg's 2021 festival. So glad Sidewalk is here to bring indie cinema to Birmingham! 🎟
