Jessy looks after communications and stakeholder engagement at Perth Film Studios, drawing on more than 20 years’ experience across film, advertising and television in every genre – with artistic merit ranging from awardwinning to ‘we don’t talk about the reality TV-casting director years.’ If it’s been commissioned, broadcast, cancelled or quietly regretted, she’s probably worked on a version of it.
