A multi-hyphenate filmmaker raised in Portland, Oregon; Jessica Barr's work often explores loss and coming of age.  She's known for stirring and cerebral stories - grounded in naturalism. Sophie Jones, a feature that Barr wrote, produced and starred in premiered at the 2020 Deauville Film Festival. The film was acquired by Oscilloscope Laboratories and has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

 

​ Her psychological-thriller Tight had its world premiere at SXSW in 2024, where Harper’s Bazaar named it one of the top ten films to see, and it later debuted online as a Vimeo Staff Pick. FML, a comedy she wrote and produced, recently launched on NoBudge, and her drama Private Moments just premiered on Directors Notes.

 

Barr's debut narrative feature film, The Plan, will have its World Premiere at Slamdance in 2026.
