Back in the day…
Growing up in London, ON, Jamara always had a love for all things creative. Whether it was painting, singing, songwriting, playing guitar or piano, filming, creative writing, poetry, or photography she was always looking for that next creative outlet.
After attending the Advanced Filmmaking Program at Fanshawe College she applied that knowledge to co-founding Orange Hat Film Productions along with Darryl Ayles in their last year of college.
Jamara co-wrote the web series Look What You Have Become along with the novella of the same title, and has produced on almost all Orange Hat Film Productions projects. She completed the feature film Vent as picture editor and most recently co-directed the latest OHFP feature film T.A.S. alongside Darryl Ayles in Spring 2022.
Since inception in 2014, OHFP has been a two person operation with Jamara primarily handling the duties of Production Manager, Set Designer, Key Makeup and Wardrobe. She has now ventured into pre-production consulting to support the emerging film industry in London, ON.
Jamara has always had an interest in music and one day aspires to create movie scores, try audio mixing for film, write and direct her own films or even venture into acting and modelling.
