Jessica Perez (She/Her) is a Queer, Mexican-American Brooklyn-based filmmaker, performance artist, and writer whose work examines what it means to be working-class and haunted. Approaching film as visual poetry, she crafts montage-driven works that expose the uncanny within the familiar. Through found objects, performance, and experimental editing, Perez tells the story of place and class with forceful intimacy. Her work draws audiences into recognizable spaces and symbols, then subtly distorts them to reveal latent horror and social implication. Rooted in poetry and performance, her practice combines political insight with a visceral sense of haunting and revelation.
