Jaicey Bledsoe is a junior in the B.F.A. Cinematic Arts program with a minor in Theatre & Drama. She is an avid movie and television watcher, superhero fan, BTS ARMY, and lover of new things. Her latest obsessions are Netflix’s The Crown and the classic sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air on HBO Max, and she is looking forward to Moon Knight and the other Marvel projects soon to be released in theatres and on Disney+. Jaicey is working toward acting, directing, and screenwriting for film and television. She hopes to one day own her own production studio, which she got to explore during an internship with Atlas Entertainment last fall. In addition to writing scripts, she also enjoys books. She has previously written several short literary pieces and has one novel in the work, in addition to writing and editing for the Indiana Daily Student. Her love of stories is what started her on the path to theatre and film. Acting and directing are her ways of telling a story through motion and visuals. She also enjoys martial arts and loves to do her own stunts.
