Jaselle Martino is a producer, writer, and director, born in Trinidad
and Tobago but currently based in New York City. She has been
writing, producing, and directing short films independently
through her own production company since 2012.

 

Her short Bike Tales was nominated for the 2014 Young Artists
Awards in Hollywood and also played at a series of festivals,
including the Dubai International Film Festival and the Trinidad
and Tobago Film Festival. Shorts she's produced have played at
major international film festivals, including TIFF, Dubai, and
VIFF.
 

Her last short film, Don't Go Too Far, which she produced this
year, was funded by Enjaaz Dubai and subsequently screened at
Dubai International Film Festival/ Cinetech Screenings and at
Cannes Short Film Corner at Cannes Film Festival in May.
Jaselle's passion for filmmaking is amplified by the need to undo
stereotypical tropes that are used in storytelling and the media.
