Jessica Hargrave is one of Hollywood’s most sought after documentary producers.
But Jess started her career working in the mail room of a Hollywood agency, making films with her best friend in her spare time.
And after years of hard work and some great independent movie releases, Jess hit the big time.
She burst onto the scene as the producer of the Netflix smash-hit THE KEEPERS, the investigation into the murder of nun in Baltimore that in turn uncovered appalling child abuse in the Catholic Church.
That breakout success has led to lots of amazing films and series, of which the latest is in partnership with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and George Lucas’ Industrial Light & Magic: GOOD NIGHT OPPY.
It tells the story of how NASA’s 90 day Mars Rover mission turned into a 15 year epic expedition. ILM used hundreds of thousands of images of Mars to recreate a photorealistic Martian landscape, helping to make this film as remarkable as the mission itself.
