I think I may have given Jess her first job in TV about 20 years ago! Since then I have worked with her regularly and have never failed to be impressed with her positive attitude, professionalism, efficiency and calm authority - all whilst producing stylish well-written content. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and hope to have her attached to my projects for another 20 years!
I knew I wanted to hire Jess Matthews within 3 minutes of first meeting her. If you are looking for a PD who is a first class director, talented shooter, brilliant producer and wonderful with people, look no further. Jess is an utter star and a pleasure to work with. I always say my life as a series producer gets a whole lot easier - and much more fun - when Jess is on board. Her research, writing and edit producing skills really are second to none, and you will quickly learn you are in both safe and talented hands. I simply can't recommend her enough (even though I'd rather keep her to myself....). Kerry Richardson, Series Producer.
Jess and I worked together on a new mixed format show, 'Fixing Britains Teeth'. She came on board as a highly experienced features PD but had to quickly adapt to shooting extensive obs doc, following our contributors on an emotional journey to get their teeth fixed. She's an excellent self-shooter, calm, creative and utterly reliable. She formed strong bonds with the contributors and they eventually gave her really good access. She's also extremely nice to work with. Highly recommended.
Jessica worked for me for the best part of 7 years - starting as a researcher and working her way up quickly to be one of the best Produceirectors I have worked with. She was always an extremely hard working and creative member of the team, and wrote original and clever scripts. I'd happily have Jessica back to work for me.
