​

Jess Joy is an ambitious Canadian writer/director and indie producer. Her work often combines absurd humor and satire with dark themes, resulting in what many have called a ‘strong, original’ voice. She’s drawn to female led comedy, psychological thrillers, and technicolor musicals, or anything strange with heart.

 

A kind leader and strong collaborator, Jess is skilled at assembling creative teams and curating positive crew environments. She has produced, written, and directed several shorts, and recently wrapped production on her mockumentary series for Bell TV1. In 2024 she was contracted to write a thriller feature.

 

Jess is constantly undergoing professional development and has taken many courses ranging from development to distribution. She also holds a BFA in film production from York University and is a member of WIFT Toronto and the Liaison of Independent Filmmakers.

In her non-existent spare time Jess sings in an original rock band, and occasionally writes for LOUD WOMEN. She loves discovering new original bands, and is a massive live music supporter.
