Carla de Jesus Jerez
I’m a New York-based video preditor (producer/director/editor) who thrives in deadline-driven, team-orientated environments. As a multi-passionate creative with a lot of Capricorn in my chart, I love to involve myself in every aspect of production—and I love to get it done.
From concept to post-production, I collaborate with clients to develop ideas, manage budgets, onboard teams, shoot, edit, and deliver polished content. And thanks to my background in comedic acting and stand-up, I'm not afraid to step in front of the camera when needed.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the chance to work with agencies, non-profits, and production companies, while also producing and directing independent films. I'm always looking for my next project—so let's connect and make something happen!

“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)
