Jamie Arielle is a Producing Director and storyteller working across film, culture, and media.

Her work is rooted in curiosity, connection, and a love for finding the story in everyday life. Whether she’s developing a film, shaping a production from idea to screen, documenting a moment, or following whatever has her attention, Jamie approaches creativity with an instinct for bringing ideas, people, and story together.

After years in education, she began building a creative life that made room for the parts of herself that had always existed alongside the classroom. What started behind a camera grew into producing, directing, filmmaking, and a deeper interest in the people, culture, and experiences that shape the stories we tell.

Her production work includes independent projects and work developed through 22nd & Story, a production company focused on bringing thoughtful, culturally grounded stories to life.

Jamie is also the founder of Black Women in Production, a nonprofit committed to expanding access, visibility, and opportunity for Black women across film production. Through its work, she is helping create more room for Black women to build, sustain, and be recognized for their careers both on and off screen.

And then there’s Side Note.

Side Note is Jamie’s media playground. A space for music, culture, live experiences, observations, photography, and whatever else catches her attention. No pressure to fit neatly into a category. Just another side of the story.

At the center of it all is a woman still creating, exploring, and figuring out what the next chapter looks like in real time.

Still becoming. Still creating. Still following the story.
