Learn about me
Jamie Arielle is a filmmaker, producer, and creative force reshaping the landscape of Black storytelling. A former educator turned cultural curator, she’s the founder of Act Out Media, a production initiative under parent company Jamie Arielle Productions and Black Women in Film Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to championing women—especially millennial creatives—stepping into filmmaking as their second act.
Through initiatives like the Act II Project, a hands-on film incubator; the Act II Media Fund, which finances bold Black narratives across film, theatre, and radio; and the Act II Podcast, a space where no topic is off-limits, Jamie is creating not just content—but opportunities for creative flourishment and ownership.
Rooted in the belief that representation is revolution, Jamie uses her platforms to greenlight stories that disrupt the status quo. Whether behind the camera, producing through Act Out Media, or documenting the creative grind in her newest docuseries Production in Black, Jamie is proof that the soft life and the studio life can coexist—and that it’s never too late to rewrite your story.
