Biographie

Jesse Williams is a Brighton-based writer/director, known for her tender, heartfelt and bold stories of LGBTQ+ community. Proud of her identity as a trans woman, she is driven by an aim to represent the unrepresented, to foster empathy through her filmmaking through a visceral and humanist style aiming to combine powerful visual storytelling with raw emotional authenticity.

Her prior no-budget shorts One More Song, Henry’s Channel, Till Death Do Us Part and The Sewing Circle have made a splash on the British Festival circuit, gaining the ‘Standout Filmmaker Award’ at Brighton Rocks 2024, alongside ‘Best Director’ (2023) and ‘Best Performance’ (2024) awards at the Brighton 48h Film Challenge. Her most recent short Chaser is her most ambitious, personal and brave short to date, channeling the spirit of contemporary trans cinema through gritty British Social Realism.

In addition to Directing, Jesse is often found Script Supervising, or writing for renowned Film Publications such as Directors Notes, Phantasmag and Culture Film.
