Jules Jones is an award-winning filmmaker whose career has spanned the American and European markets, with a particular focus on stories that travel across cultural and linguistic borders. After building a wide-ranging career producing indie features, music videos, and hundreds of commercials, she co-wrote or did story work on several of Poland’s highest-grossing films, projects that collectively generated multiple sequels, a Canal+ series spinoff, and a Lithuanian remake. Working within the Polish production system, she gained firsthand experience adapting scripts to reflect the creative and logistical realities shaped by local and international incentives and resources, including rewriting and relocating stories to fit the structures that make international projects viable.
Now actively developing her own projects and building co-production partnerships across markets, she brings to this panel an on-the-ground perspective on how incentives influence creative decisions from the page up.
