Jessica Young was hooked on Cinematography within shooting her first 100ft roll of 16mm B&W reversal. She studied in San Francisco at The Academy of Art University. After graduation she was hired immediately by Fox Racing, an apparel company with in-house production for making extreme sports action films.

Chasing motorcycles for a year produced a film that was heralded as, "the greatest motocross film of all time". Adventures in the sport brought the experience to shoot out of helicopters and chase cars, and she found nothing compares to the thrill of going as fast as the subject she's shooting.

When her path found music videos, she embraced their creative freedom. Her enthusiasm to experiment and push the boundaries of the medium have caught the eye of seasoned directors, and she has built a solid reel. To her portfolio of over 30 music videos, she has also added commercials, PSA's, and short films.

She discovered pure joy in shooting live music, and takes pleasure in leading large camera crews for concert performances. She considers working with musicians for their documentary needs, a privilege. Always ready for travel, Jessica appreciates any occasion to go a great distance for the next job.
