Paper Love

My name is Jessy Leigh and I'm an inspiring writer/filmmaker! I'm originally from Cleveland, Ohio but I currently live In Los Angeles. I'm a very passionate person. I've always loved telling stories as far back as I can remember. I LOVE film and inspiring others through this art form. I also really like dinosaurs. This opportunity would mean so much to me. When I first graduated from school, my primary focus was acting. I never thought I could be an actual filmmaker. I slowly started doing some writing and I was able to get a few projects on their feet. I realized how much I loved writing and with the help of others, creating my own projects was a definite possibility. The first film I directed was a biodoc about my Grandparents love story. That film as a huge turning point for me. I was overwhelmed by support/love from family, friends and everyone involved in the film. It wasn't until completing my first film that I realized I can do this. I want to make movies. I want to continue to share stories and make people laugh. I have no formal training when it comes to directing and specific positions on set, but I've learned so much from the experiences I've had. This opportunity would allow me to learn (I want to keep learning!) and gain more confidence in filmmaking. The last year I've been feeling a little stuck and frustrated during down time. I need an adventure! I crave a constant creative outlet and I think this is a great way to feed it!
