Jessica Edwards
Ontario
Raised by musician parents on a hobby farm in Ontario, Canada, Jessica Edwards’ imagination for storytelling was inspired at a young age.
Her feature film, STAY AWHILE, is a personal story chronicling her parents’ brush with fame as they climbed the worldwide music charts in the 1960s/70s as Canada’s first supergroup, The Bells. The film premiered at the Whistler International Film Festival and was an opening weekend selection for the Hot Docs International Film Festival. The film was subsequently picked up by Netflix, iTunes, Amazon Prime, and DirectTV in the U.S. – leading Jessica to be named a ’filmmaker to watch.’
Her commercial work has won Best-Of-Show at the Gramercy Content Awards and has garnered global attention for clients such as Adidas, Air Canada, Huawei, Stella Artois, and The Washington Post.
More recently, her short film series for Huawei, 'Connecting The North,’ was nominated for Best Documentary at the NYC Cynopsis Media Awards.
Now a sought-after filmmaker, Jessica is known for her verité style and emphasis on emotive, intimate, cinematic storytelling.
