In this episode of FEEL SEEN SPACE, we sat down with Emmy-nominated director and cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné, celebrated for her beautiful visual storytelling on acclaimed projects such as Severance, Escape at Dannemora, and Mrs. America. From her film school beginnings in Montreal to collaborating on major productions in Hollywood, Jessica reflects on her artistic evolution, career transitions, and the importance of staying balanced and inspired in the fast-paced world of filmmaking.
Rooted in authentic vision, leadership, and the human element in storytelling, the episode delves into her commitment to creative integrity, her leap from cinematography to directing, and how she continues to navigate her career on her own terms.
Hosted by co-founders Roxanne Doucet and Sara Van Pée, this conversation explores what it truly means to lead creatively in a high-stakes industry.
Together, they explore:
• Growing up in Québec City and discovering filmmaking as a language
• Navigating the industry as a female cinematographer and director
• The collaborative process behind Severance and stepping into her directorial debut
• Searching for balance and trusting her intuition
• Reclaiming creative rhythm and starting anew with purpose and clarity
This episode is a powerful reminder of the vulnerability and courage it takes to embrace new beginnings and the beauty of connecting through impactful stories.
