carla jerez
I’m a New York-based video director/producer and writer. I love overseeing a project from concept to post-production, and thrive in deadline-driven, team-oriented environments. Over my career, I’ve had the great luck to work with agencies, non-profits, production companies, and independent organizations.
“I was constantly amazed by her ability to seamlessy shift gears between the creative and logistical sides of filmmaking...She has the rare ability to balance a specific creative vision with a clear understanding of her collaborators’ skills and talents, allowing her to execute her ideas by tapping into and elevating the talent around her. Most importantly, Carla leads a set with kindness and respect.” - Olivia West Lloyd, Director of Somewhere Quiet (2023)
“I met Carla when I was looking for help producing a documentary film shoot in Miami. Carla volunteered her services, and we spent several days working together to organize the shoot...She did this work on extremely short notice, with lots of enthusiasm and tirelessness. I was impressed with her strong communication skills, and her commitment to helping me realize my vision. Carla is a strong candidate for any position requiring good people skills, positive energy, and the ability to think on one’s feet. She has a wonderful career ahead of her.” - Pacho Velez, Director of The American Sector (2020)
