“This above all: to thine own self be true.” – William Shakespeare

Jessica Lily is driven and passionate about telling compelling stories and representing the human condition in its most organic form. Her open mind and down to earth approach as well as her commitment to continuously develop her craft, allows her to be an ideal team player, where exploration can be freely discovered.

Jessica was nominated for ‘best actor’ in her lead role on the award winning short ‘Crown of Flowers’. She then went on to play a lead role in an edgy black comedy called ‘Her Creature’. Jessica is set to shoot several projects this year including a feature and two shorts. Some of her other credentials include network production The Claremont Murders, Canal Road, TVC’s for QBE Insurance and Bankwest, Verity in the Feature Film Spectrum and she also acted in George Millers Norma at His Majesty’s Theatre. One of her highlights was meeting Quentin Tarantino at the Night Cat in Melbourne.
