To celebrate Pride month, Jessica was commissioned by McCann to photograph and direct the 'volunqueers' who keep Pride in Britain one of the leading charities for LGBT+ people across the country.
A decisive arrival into the world of directing, the filmic interviews crafted by Jess mirror the warm, happy energy she brings to set. The hopeful and inspirational tone is a motivating and refreshing angle for such important subject matter.
