Director’s Statement from Jazmin Jones, Co-Director of The Apollos

I am interested in all forms of media. I believe that by blending different forms

of art such as audio, visuals, storytelling, etc. you can create a more powerful
piece than by using one art form alone. Each project I make is different, and
I've found that each person takes something different out them. Our current
culture, and my generation, is prone to listening to video media. I want to
create films that have something positive to say. The last film I made (The
Apollos) has been accepted in many film festivals. I feel honored by the
acceptances and am very excited that the film will reach many audiences and
share a story they may not have known before. Before I made this last film, I
remember seeing a film, I Promise Africa. This film touched me, It challenged
me. I remember it still. I feel passionate for film and the world I live in. My
hope is to carry inspiration to others.
