Director Biography - Jess Nipperess

Jess is a young, queer writer/director from a small country town in NSW, Australia. Since aging out of eating sand and learning how to press record on their family iPad, she has held a rapt reverence for stories and moving images. At 15, she directed a short horror-comedy that screened at the Cannes Film Festival, spurring interviews with the Nofilmschool podcast and Australian Cinematographer Magazine. Recently graduated high school having produced another two award-winning films, she has begun working on the team of a new upcoming series and developing her first feature.
