Jess Dadds is a filmmaker from South East England.
Jess’ latest short film “I am good at karate” was awarded a Special Mention at Encounters Film Festival due to how the film “explores the complex intersections of class, mental health and coming of age, with a strong self-assured visual style”. The film also screened at various other BAFTA and Academy Award qualifying film festivals, such as Oberhausen, Montreal Du Nouveau Cinéma and LSFF.
Jess is currently developing his first feature project, supported by BFI.
Jess is represented as a Writer & Director for Film & TV by Gabriel Blair at Casarotto Ramsay & Associates.
