Jessica Marie Terry
I am a 1st assistant art director (set designer) who has worked in the film and tv industry in Toronto for 9 years after studying film at Wilfrid Laurier University and Production Design at Sheridan College, graduating in 2015. In 2022 I decided to fulfill a lifelong dream of travelling abroad for an undetermined amount of time and eventually settled for a time in Wanaka, NZ. While there I had the opportunity to work in a boutique cinema where I worked as administrator and theatre manager. Although not directly related to the art department, I was able to round out my skills and knowledge in cinema, both by managing the schedule and ensuring films to be ready as needed for viewing. Of course, I was also able to view many of the films in the cinema. I found myself once again drawn to and immersed in all things film and eventually felt a calling to make my way back home and get back to doing what I love.
