Director Biography - Jessica Denise Mitchell

PR pro by day and a filmmaker by night. I've been a storyteller since playing make believe with my Barbie's. I have two schools of thought:

1. Movies can be a form of escapism - like the Nicole Kidman AMC ad, heartbreak does feel good in a place like this.
2. Visibility creates understanding - what we see on screen influences how we perceive the world around us, and those within it.

I love movies with an underdog - and showing folks that there's a little underdog in all of us. I want to use film to show the world that even seemingly insignificant people have these intriguing stories.

Director Statement

At the height of the pandemic, there was a lot of civil unrest. On top of stress related to the pandemic, it seemed like everyone was focused on our differences. I wanted to make a movie that shows that we—humans—are not as different as we may think.

What would happen if we switched bodies with someone who we thought were different from us? Would life be easier? Would all of our problems be solved if we had more money or resources, or if we had a different skin tone? Would we become cooler, richer, or be less anxiety-ridden?

Colorway is a lighthearted way of exploring that, because films that teach us lessons don't have to be so serious or traumatic. I want audiences to take from this that we’re not as different as we may think—we have one shared human experience.
