Jessie Rodger is a Director and Filmmaker from South Wales. She works at the meeting point between film and music. She specialises in directing shows that feature live music alongside cinematic projection and 360 sound as well as live multi-camera captures, documentaries, and multiscreen installations.

After studying French and Philosophy at the University of Glasgow, Jessie completed a Masters in Broadcast Journalism at City University London. She spent three years living and working in France with France 24 and Monocle, before moving to London to combine her love of storytelling with music. She has since collaborated with a wide variety of artists and cultural organisations and is classically trained on piano and clarinet. She loves working with different artists and has a long term creative partnership with sound designer and music producer Brett Cox.

Current Projects include Darkness Visible, a new show featuring live music and visuals, which will take place on May 7th 2026 at the Barbican main hall, Reflections, which was commissioned by Southbank Centre and will tour to Théâtre de l’Athénée in Paris on February 23rd 2026 and a long form documentary with Trio Gaspard following their recording of Haydn’s full set of trios.
