1. What inspired you to pursue work in film?
When I was a kid I was into art no matter what medium it was. I remember it being around kindergarten when I was able to recite movie quotes and my dad would tell me âone day that can be youâ so I never once believed that I couldnât make movies. Though Iâve never worked on a Hollywood set, my passion is still the same for any project I am lucky enough to work on.
2. How long have you been working on film sets?
Iâve been helping out on productions for probably close to 6 years. The first thing I ever helped shoot was a Stripes commercial and I was just a grip but here and there Iâve been able to work on larger projects. Me and my friends started making our own short films back in 2017 as HomeBrew Productions and itâs gotten us some awards during CC7D which is always fun to participate in.
3. What role did you play in the making of âBy Mothlightâ?
During the making of âBy Mothlightâ I was the DP and also the comic relief! Just kidding I got sunburned and people laughed at me.
4. What was your experience on set in the making of âBy Mothlightâ?
Some of the cooler experiences for me was to witness how other people work and do their jobs. It gives you an appreciation of thinking outside the box. Often time we think our way is the only way to do things but then you get to witness others do it their way and itâs cool to see the group effort that goes into creating a vision.
5. Do you have any social media you would like our audience to follow you on?
You can follow my Instagram page if youâd like to see more of my photography work!

1757s brings you a behind the scenes look at âBy Mothlightâ but with a twist. Instead of just posting random pictures we want to highlight each member of our team. Bringing an independent film to life is no easy task, but our cast and crew made it possible.
This week meet the director and producer of our film Jamie Garcia.
Jamie has been working on films for 3 years now. She has served on multiple projects as an actor, script supervisor, assistant director, and producer.

What inspired you to pursue work in the film industry?
The film âTitanicâ was a huge inspiration to me as cliche as it sounds. I had the 11th anniversary DVD and it was packed with behind the scenes content that detailed the making of the film. I would watch it over and over again fascinated at the amount of work done by everyone involved to make the film as historically accurate as possible. I was in awe at how incredible the sets were. They recreated the ship almost entirely and sunk many of the rooms. That was my first time seeing the work that goes into a film and I wanted to be a part of it.
Was your dream always to direct?
No, my first love was acting even though Iâm not the best at it. My theater teacher Mrs.Leal can tell you, I always took on the role of director. I could see how to do things in a timely and organized manner. I enjoyed every part of the process from creating props and costumes to writing scripts and performing. Iâm not a shy individual so that helped while directing because I could speak up when things needed to be done.
What was your experience on set in the making of âBy Mothlightâ?
It was a rewarding experience but if anyone tells you filmmaking is easy they are lying. It is hard work for everyone involved because it requires 100% of your physical energy and mental presence but youâre there because you love it.
When serving as a director of an independent film you wear many hats. Everyone is coming to you with questions and concerns from the smallest âwhere does this chair go?â to bigger problems like âwe broke a piece of equipment how do we fix it?â It takes a great deal of energy dealing with everything behind the scenes while trying to stay on track with the shooting schedule which is why Iâm very grateful for the help of my Assistant Director Megan Jabsen.
It was a great experience to work alongside my talented group of actors and amazing crew but at every corner we faced challenges... the biggest being the weather.
It was hard getting our camera settings right as the sun showed no mercy and the clouds were nowhere in sight. We all bared through the heat but had to cut our shooting days short because many on set were getting sunburned. Nevertheless, we did what we could under the given circumstances and didnât give up.
What is your biggest advice to anyone currently working on a film?
DONâT use horses as extras or any farm animals. Jokes aside, my biggest advice is donât get so caught up on what your vision is on paper. Scripts are ever-changing on set as well as in post-production. Your final draft is never the final draft. Focus on getting your message across to the viewer even if it wasnât how you originally intended. The beautiful part about film is creating something with others and sharing it with the world.
