Jesse Harris started his filmmaking career early, writing and directing his first feature when he was 17. He opted against college and used the money to fund his feature that he wrote and directed, which was eventually picked up for US theatrical distribution and by HBO Europe.

In 2007, to support other young filmmakers, Jesse founded NFFTY (National Film Festival for Talented Youth), which has grown into the largest and most prestigious youth film festival in the world. Jesse put his filmmaking career on hold for several years to support other young directors and build a premier showcase for aspiring directors.

Variety named Jesse one of 25 talents who transformed youth entertainment and was named one of City Arts Magazine's Top 50 Culture Makers. His feature was shortlisted for the 2004 Independent Spirit Awards 'Someone to Watch' Award and was one of 20 features invited to the 2004 IFP New York Film Market. Jesse's recently been named a Global Shaper, an initiative of the World Economic Forum, built around young entrepreneurs and do-gooders.

Jesse returned to filmmaking in the commercial world, now bringing years of experience crafting beautiful stories for brands. His commercial work has been seen on TV around the world, working with clients such as Volvo, Microsoft, Disney and more.

His 2018 short film, Wind in the Night was one of seven films selected for the 2019 Prix SNCF du Polar in France and picked up for distribution in France, Asia, UK and USA. The film was a proof of concept for his next feature, Borrego (available January 14, 2022).

Hello Love Theme

In this Film Ireland podcast, Gemma Creagh talks to Remi Alfallah, Co-Director, Producer of Dollar Baby's, which screens at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival.

Struggling to make ends meet in a run-down LA motel, Maedbh is torn between her Irish roots and the new life she is fighting to build for herself in the U.S. Encouraged by her girlfriend Frankie, they venture into the ‘Girls Club’ of the LA Sugar Baby scene in one last attempt to survive in the city Maedbh has always dreamed of living in.

Since its creation, Dollar Baby's has gained significant traction, with over 1.5 million views and saves on social media.

The film screens as part of the DIFF Shorts: In Transit programme on February 25th at the Dublin International Film Festival (DIFF).

The 2025 Dublin International Film Festival runs 20th February – 2nd March.

A podcast by NextBestPicture.com that reviews the latest film releases and discusses various topics within the world of film and the awards race.

The internet has killed film criticism, resurrecting it is Peter A Deluca known throughout the cosmos as AKPAD. Here he wages war against poor hot takes, lazy insight, and trashing a movie just for clicks. This is the last bastion of honest cinema thought.

Whether you think you can or you can't-you are
right.
