It believes that many communities, not only geographically, but demographically, don’t relate to what they watch and looks to grow audiences through relatable and specific storytelling.

Just Ask For It, premiered at Austin Film Festival and was acquired by Air Canada for their Inflight Entertainment System on all Spring through Fall 2020 flights.

Working with Jacquie

“It was an absolute joy to work with Jacquie. She directed with clarity and always invited questions and challenges. She was generally actor centric in her approach: curious about and adaptable to our processes and always allowed us space to play and discover.” – Harriet Green, Actor

“Jacquie was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was incredibly organised and a consummate professional who had a lovely relationship with the cast and crew. Jacquie collaborated brilliantly with her DOP, but I was most impressed by how she was with her cast. You could genuinely see an improvement in performance with every take through Jacquie’s notes.” – David Bispham, 1st AD
