About
Jessica Lynch is an independent artist originally from Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, now based in Montreal, Quebec.
Her work explores themes such as collective memory, social decay in rural regions, and the surreal nightmare.
She has a diverse background as a documentary and fiction filmmaker, as well as a cinematographer. Notably, she worked on a documentary filmed in Bosnia and Herzegovina as part of the Correspondant à l’Étranger program at Cégep de Saint-Laurent in Montreal, within the Humanities stream. For this project, she focused on Yugonostalgia in her research thesis and produced a short documentary on the topic — even before formally studying film.
After beginning university studies in Political Science at Concordia, she ultimately shifted her focus to cinema and enrolled in the Film Production program.
She has a strong interest in analog 16mm film practices, particularly image capture, hand processing, chemical degradation, contact and optical printing, and the Chromaflex technique.
Her self-funded documentary Nécrose Caséeuse occupies her spare time while she works as a lighting technician on set, and later as a director and cinematographer for corporate content.
