Jessie Chisi

Jessie Chisi is a Zambian film director and screenwriter. Quotes “Both my parents are deceased and I am the first and only child of my mother and two young half-brothers from my father. I was raised by my aunty Betty Chisi and grandfather both who wanted me to go to university and study the leading courses. They never believed that my passion lied in film making this was because they never believed filmmaking was my great career of choice. Like every dreamer, I started chasing mine. I started reading on film literature and I was exposed to both local and international films training. The knowledge gained made me eager to want to learn and practice more of new learned skills. My greatest achievements include initiating Young Cinema in Zambia in 2013 together with Euphoria Borealis a film-training platform that has been set to inspire and encourage young people to practice and take up the role of film making as tool for entrepreneurship. It is our role as young people and leaders to help nation lift our flag and the face of our nation with dignity and pride. I envision Zambian films competing with other films internationally with its diversity stories and put our national history and heritage on the world map. “I would want people to remember me as a lady who attributed her courage and strength as blessings from God.
