NAME: JESSE ATLAS

BASE: LOS ANGELES, CA

Jesse is a director/writer that blends high-concept genre with human-centered drama. Jesse’s directorial feature debut is the mind-bending sci-fi thriller “Assassin", starring Bruce Willis and Andy Allo, released theatrically in 2023. The film is based on Jesse’s short, “Let Them Die Like Lovers,” a festival favorite at Tribeca Film Festival, Fantastic Fest, and Urbanworld among others. Additionally, Jesse’s time-travel love story “Record/Play” exploded onto the festival circuit at Sundance and was quickly snatched up as a feature adaptation.

On the branded/commercial side, Jesse wrote and directed an original shoot campaign for the Apple TV+ series FOR ALL MANKIND, documented Joseph Gordon Levitt’s collaborative filmmaking process for SAMSUNG, and created dance films for Emmy-winning choreographer Travis Wall (Dancing With the Stars).

Previously, Jesse told stories in post, as an editor of trailers, commercials, and documentaries.
