Author Details
Jess is a writer, assistant director, and production runner who graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2021 with a Masters degree in Film, TV and Screen Industries. When not working, Jess wastes no time in escaping rainy West Yorkshire, England for “not another holiday!” and is always looking for new countries to visit.
Industry Focus
As a Screen Rant Core Features Writer of over a year, Jess focuses on movies and TV and loves to balance watching new content with reruns of classic sitcoms. Sticking to her roots, English TV shows are a favorite of Jess’ and she is especially focused on Bridgerton and Doctor Who.
Favorite Media
After being well trained by her parents in classic movies, Jess’ love of film stretches from 40s film noir movies to a classic Harry Potter adventure. Jess’ favorite genres are psychological thrillers and fantasy, but she is a sucker for a B-list romcom and believes everyone needs to watch the enjoyably awful movies, for nothing more than pure escapism.
