Salt Pictures is an absolute wealth of knowledge in the field of media production. It’s not only Jessica’s years of expertise and knowhow, but also her ability to problem solve, strategize complex situations in understandable ways, and guide productions in the direction to success that truly sets her apart. I have worked with her for over 15 years and she is worth her weight in gold.

As a Consulting Producer on SPADURA, Jessica was a powerhouse: crafting a clear, strategic budget, writing compelling marketing materials, and constantly generating smart, creative ideas that moved the project forward. She leveraged her deep industry knowledge and contacts to support the film every step of the way and was absolutely instrumental on set.
