Hey friends! Long time no see. I haven't been super active in the past half-decade, but I've still been doing a lot of fun creative projects which I wanted to share here in case anyone's curious what I've been up to lately.
First off, last fall I officially completed my first original musical "OTHER GIRLS" which is available to watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rniUu5K0-Cg OTHER GIRLS is a satirical coming-of-age movie about a queen bee who sold her soul to become the most popular girl in school and now must undo this curse before graduation. I started writing the script in 2019 and composed all of the music for it as well as serving as the director! I'm super proud of this piece and hope you enjoy it as well!
Second, I am currently working on directing my second feature-film "The Buddy Cole Documentary"! This film uncovers the true story behind an often-forgotten trailblazer in the queer comedy landscape. It also features some pretty big names in the cast and crew - one of my executive producers is Bruce McCulloch (renowned sketch comedian and director of several episodes of Schitt's Creek and Brooklyn 99), and I've also been collaborating heavily with Scott Thompson (renowned sketch comedian who is also known for playing Jimmy Price on Hannibal). These guys have been some of my comedy heroes for years, so getting to work with them is a dream come true. If you want to support the film, here's the link to our Indiegogo page: https://igg.me/at/buddycoledoc
That's about it for now! I'm starting my senior year at Emerson College next semester, still majoring in comedy. Thanks again to everyone who supported my writing here when I was in middle school, I still value the experience so much and hope I can revisit parts of it again someday. If you want to keep up with my current social media presence, you can find me on Instagram as @surely.u.jess. Hope you all have a good night!! <3
