Lee Groombridge, Producer
"Highly recommended for any production, large or small. Jessica brings a level of expertise and calmness to the clearance process that is deeply appreciated by the whole team."
"Jessica is a pleasure to work with—reliable, attentive, and incredibly flexible. She adapts to our workflow instantly and feels like a natural extension of our production office."
"Jessica’s 'bible of contacts' with brands and publishers is a game-changer. She gets answers and licenses faster than anyone else I’ve worked with in twenty years of producing."
“I have worked with Jessica for three Features now and I would always recommend her. We established easy communication straight away and she has always been reliable, attentive to details and flexible to adapt to each project and workflow. The three projects were quite different from one another: a period independent drama, a low-budget horror and a studio sci-fi drama. She could easily connect with each of them and efficiently liaise with each department despite the different partnerships. She is thoughtful and precise. A trustworthy member of the production team.”
"Having worked with Jessica across multiple genres—from low-budget indies to complex studio sci-fi—I can say her attention to detail is consistent and flawless. She is a permanent fixture on my crew list."
"It’s rare to find someone who understands both the legal requirements and the creative vision. Jessica worked seamlessly with our Art Department, finding solutions that kept the set looking authentic without compromising on legal safety."
"Jessica doesn't just say 'no' to a clearance; she offers strategic alternatives. She’s a true partner to the creative team, helping us maintain our visual style while staying fully protected."
"Jessica is incredibly responsive. We needed a rush clearance for a key brand during a night shoot, and she handled it with professional precision and speed."
"In the fast-paced world of TV production, speed is everything. Jessica's turnaround times on script reports and title searches are second to none—she never missed a beat, even with our last-minute schedule changes."
"Navigating the legalities of clearances can be a minefield, but Jessica makes it look easy. She caught potential issues we hadn't even considered, saving us from massive headaches down the line."
"The peace of mind Jessica provides is invaluable. Knowing our script and title were fully cleared for E&O insurance meant one less thing to worry about during a high-stakes production."
