My name is Jessica (Jess) Bie. I was born and raised in a town called Commack on Long Island, NY with my two parents, Eileen and Gary, and one older sister, Ali. For those of you think of NY as the hustle and bustle, crowded city life of Manhattan, Commack is about 45 minutes outside of the city, but Long Island, a suburban setting, still replicates the “time is of the essence” feel. With this in mind, my move to Hawaii for school, introduced an entirely new lifestyle. Sometimes it’s hard for me to remember my casual walk speed may actually look like I’m in a rush here. Another one of my passions is editing and filming video. I got my first video camera when a was 7 (an orange video now) and from then on I was hooked. I would shoot videos and pictures and edit them as a personalized gift to my family members and friends. Over the years it went from childish edits with voice narration through a crackling microphone where there should never be narration, to productions that cause reactions ranging from hysterical laugher to crying. I have adopted the name of JessBie Films for my productions, very clever I know, but it’s a start! Either way, I think I picked the right major of Multimedia Cinematic Production! I’m very excited to continue my education at HPU and see where life takes me!
