Growing up in Brighton and later studying at Bournemouth Film School, Jesse was increasingly drawn to deep-seated human stories of empathy, interconnectedness and self-overcoming. His films can be quiet and observational, or driven by momentum. They are rooted in the real and intimate, are at once touching and bleak, and unmistakably compassionate. They all have a human center and demonstrate his tact for creating ordinary yet memorable characters.
His graduation film, BLEACH won a slew of awards, including at BFI Flare, The Iris Prize, a record of 4 Royal Television Society Awards and more. His next short film, Eyelash, was nominated for BAFTA’s Best Short Film award.
