Jamie Arielle is a filmmaker, producer, and culture curator using her creative platform to open doors for underrepresented storytellers. After transitioning from the classroom to the camera, she founded Black Women in Production Inc. — now front–facing as Production in Black (coming soon) — a philanthropic initiative funding bold, culturally resonant projects from vision to screen, while dismantling the barriers that keep important stories out of the pipeline.

Production in Black, the docuseries, follows that journey in real time — transparently showing how films are developed, funded, produced, and delivered to audiences.

Jamie also owns Act Out Media, a media coverage brand capturing creative culture through media events, interviews, and concert coverage.

She is also the co-founder of 22nd & Story, a production company creating bold, character-centered narratives rooted in culture, intimacy, and lived experience — elevating Black women, Black families, and Black communities as layered, complex humanity.

Grounded in creative autonomy, community impact, and legacy building, Jamie is designing an ecosystem where the stories that matter most are not just made — they’re made to last.
