Jasmine...

graduated from the University of Southern California with an MFA in Film & Television Production with a focus on Screenwriting and from the University of Iowa with a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing. She has volunteered for organizations that serve the youth and worked for companies such as Participant Media, Protozoa Pictures, Ebertfest, and Bisco Smith. She was a writer-in-residence at Weymouth Center for the Arts. Her feature-length screenplay was a semi-finalist for the Sundance Screenwriter’s Lab.

Her latest work of contemporary fiction, Here Not Here, explores the lives of people searching for healing in the aftermath of trauma. Lyrical and cinematic, the interwoven stories carve a trail through a fractured America, examining the ills that separate and the humanity that brings us together, ultimately asking—what does it mean to survive? 

Jasmine is passionate about bringing to life stories that transport us into an experience that leaves us feeling more connected and understanding of each other.
