ABOUT JESSICA HALL

Jessica Hall recently joined Elevation Pictures as a Creative Executive following Marc Haimes, a Senior Executive at DreamWorks SKG for thirteen years, as he begins his own company as a producer and writer. The company’s first spec, ELEVATOR MEN by Marc Haimes, sold to Summit Entertainment last month. After joining the DreamWorks story department in 2006, Jessica worked with the company’s 20 freelance project readers and conducted research projects for the senior heads of the company.

Jessica continued at DreamWorks as an assistant to Marc Haimes from 2007 to 2008 where she was involved in the development, production and distribution of such films as HOTEL FOR DOGS, THE HEARTBREAK KID, DISTURBIA and TRANSFORMERS I & II. Representing the company at Pitch Fests and Film Festivals, Jessica sought out unknown voices to bring to DreamWorks.

After graduating from Vassar College, Jessica made her start in the film industry at Tiger 8 Media, a joint venture by producer Janet Yang (JOY LUCK CLUB) and executive producer Justin Ackerman (SIRENS), where she worked closely with writers on all projects in development.
