About us
What we do
Above all else, we believe in making good films.
At Lumida Productions, we make films, television programs, and digital series that are as thought-provoking as they are fun — films that will be seen and remembered, and make an impact.
While we consider ourselves genre agnostic, we specialize in producing comedy, horror, and drama content.
In our minds, the best stories have substance and heart, not just production value; they are deep, entertaining, and commercially viable.
We pride ourselves on our commitment to:
- Quality
- Creativity
- Viability
Our Founder
Jess Blackwell
Jess Blackwell is a British-Canadian actor, writer, filmmaker, and producer currently based out of Toronto, Canada.
Having first completed an MA in philosophy before transitioning into a career in film and television, Jess leverages her knowledge of topics such as self-development, identity, and communication to craft rich, grounded, and deeply human performances and stories. Her goal is always to present authentic, believable moments that connect with audiences.
As the founder of Lumida Productions, she is passionate about bringing to life women-led narratives that are as thought-provoking as they are engaging. Thematically, she loves to examine the core of what it means to be human, focusing on themes such as identity, morality, existential conflict, belonging, and interpersonal connection.
