About Jessica
Jessica Redish is an award-winning director, writer & choreographer and a recent graduate of USC’s School of Cinematic Arts’ MFA Film & Television Production Program. She has been referred to as a “rising star” by Medium.com because of her accomplishments with her award-winning short films and music videos. Her body of work ranges from contributing choreography to The Smashing Pumpkins' International Tour to her short films “The Last Croissant,” “AIRWAY” and “cat.” winning Best Director and Best Comedy awards. She also has worked as a comedy writer for Emmy & Golden Globe Winner Joey Soloway, as well as Michael Bay & Adam Goodman’s Invisible Narratives. Her most recent success is her newest film, “Exit, Pursued by a Bear,” a short movie musical which she wrote, directed, choreographed, and co-wrote lyrics with composer Michael Mahler. The film received placement in the Oscar-qualifying HollyShorts and Raindance Film Festivals as one of six winners in the 2022 Stage 32 Short Film Contest. She recently completed post-production on her short film “cat.,” about a woman who signs up for a dating coaching service in search of her soulmate and ends up marrying a cat. The project is a 2022 Shore Scripts Short Film Fund Finalist, a 2023 ScreenCraft Film Fund Second Round Quarterfinalist, and a 2020 Women in Media CAMERAderie Semifinalist. Jessica attributes her ability to work with actors and capture great performances because of her theater work for which The Chicago Tribune named her production of “Merrily We Roll Along” as one of the top ten Sondheim productions in Chicago, putting her on a shortlist with Hal Prince. She is also the winner of the Helen Hayes Award for Outstanding Choreography for “Silence! The Musical!” a musical parody of “The Silence of the Lambs.” Inspired by the work of Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Alma Har’el, Bob Fosse as well as Tony Winner David Cromer and Tony Nominee Michael Greif, both of whom she has had the honor to work with Off-Broadway, Jessica strives for detail, honesty, compulsion and her work has been described as "hilariously twisted” by the Hollywood Digest. Her musical theater background at Northwestern University has helped contribute to the movie musical director she is.

Jess is SO FUNNY, so accessible, and ridiculously skilled at her job. She has a tremendous eye and a terrific way of communicating what will make any scene, moment or character stronger and more specific. She gets results fast. She's wonderful with all genres and is also just a lot of fun to be around. Highly recommend for all ages and skill levels, beginner to professional.
As a young actor, I quickly learned that success relies on a solid foundation of preparation, confidence, and understanding. What Jessica brings to the discipline is tireless passion, contagious ambition, and the intellect to put it all together. What I believe Jessica has mastered is challenging the truth of the individual by discovering the deeply committed artist within. The result is not only a more meaningful experience, but the conviction to take risks and make bold choices. The discoveries I made through my work with Jessica not only resulted in an invitation to the school of my dreams, but have become essential to the survival of my career!
Jessica Redish is an inspiring and intelligent artist to train under. Jessica teaches you to be fearless and to tell a story truthfully. When I was preparing for my college auditions, Jessica helped me to understand that acting is not just performing, but living. Her knowledge and understanding of text helped me to discover the importance of every word I say as an actor, and I carry her advice with me in every audition and performance I give. The sessions I have spent training with Jessica have been joyful and exciting! I look forward to every opportunity I have to work with her and I look to Jessica as a wonderful role model both in the theatre and as a human being,"
Jessica always has good ideas to add layers to the context of any character or song. She is very down to earth which helps the performer feel safe to play around with the character or song in different ways. Her experience in the industry helps with preparing for auditions or career planning in general. I truly value her as someone I can trust to help make me me a better and empowered actress and performer.
We worked organically. Profesh but fun. Instilled confidence in my strengths.
Jess really helped me become more naturalistic in my sitcom pilot. She is a brilliant treasure.
