We were lucky to catch up with Jessy Greer recently and have shared our conversation below.

Jessy, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?

Success, to me, depends on determination, passion, and resilience in adversity. A vivid example is our company’s journey through the pandemic and subsequent industry shifts. Despite starting just before the pandemic hit, we navigated strikes and industry changes with unwavering determination and adaptability. Through learning from experienced mentors, we not only survived but also grew stronger, reinforcing the value of surrounding ourselves with knowledgeable and successful individuals.

Ultimately, I believe that success is not just about individual effort but also about leveraging the collective wisdom and support of those around you. By maintaining a relentless focus on my goals, staying passionate about my work, and learning from others, I have been able to achieve milestones that initially seemed unattainable.

Jessy, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I’ve been deeply immersed in the industry for almost 12 years. My journey into this field began with a passion for stand-up comedy and acting. Over time, this passion evolved into a dedicated pursuit of film production.

At We’re There Films, our mission is to share compelling narratives that challenge the status quo, champion underrepresented voices, and inspire transformation. I’m particularly proud of our slate and what we are gearing up to shoot here in September. It exemplifies our dedication to igniting a dialogue that matters.

For potential clients, followers, and fans, I want them to know that we are focused on delivering impactful stories, a collaborative approach with clients, and our commitment to pushing creative boundaries. Whether you’re looking for consulting, development, or production services, we’re here to help you get your project made.

How did you build your audience on social media?

Our journey in building our social media audience started with sharing our passion for films and industry-related topics. Initially, we focused on posting about our favorite films and engaging with the film community. As our company grew and we had more updates and announcements to share, we began using social media as a platform for company news and project updates.

Over time, we’ve refined our approach by defining our social media presence—deciding on our voice, overall tone, and aesthetic. It was crucial to allocate time to understand what resonates with our audience and to consistently fine-tune the types of content we share. We also leverage industry-related hashtags to expand our reach and connect with like-minded individuals.

With the help of interns dedicated to social media, we’ve been able to maintain a steady presence and engagement. While it’s been a gradual process, we’re pleased with our progress and continue to adapt our strategy to effectively communicate our brand and connect with our audience.

For those starting to build their social media presence, I recommend carving out time to define your brand’s voice and aesthetic early on. Consistency and quality content tailored to your audience’s interests are key to building a loyal following. Don’t underestimate the power of engaging with your community and utilizing relevant hashtags to increase visibility.

How’d you meet your business partner?

I first met my co-founder at Anthony Meindl’s acting workshop in West Hollywood back in 2015. We instantly connected over our shared passion for storytelling and filmmaking. Despite pursuing our own paths initially, we stayed loosely in touch over the years.

It wasn’t until a few years later that we reconnected and realized we both had a strong desire for more creative control and to explore our capabilities as producers. We often found ourselves discussing our visions for the future of filmmaking and the type of impact we wanted to create through our work.

After numerous conversations and shared aspirations, we decided to join forces and establish our own production company. It was a natural progression of our friendship and shared professional goals. Since then, we’ve been dedicated to building a platform where we can bring our creative visions to life and make a meaningful impact in the industry.

Our journey from acquaintances at an acting workshop to business partners has been fueled by mutual respect, trust, and a deep-seated passion for storytelling. Together, we’re excited to continue pushing boundaries and crafting compelling narratives that resonate with audiences worldwide.
