Biography

Jacqui Blue, born "Jacqulyn Smith", in North Miami Beach FL, was always interested in the art and entertainment world. She started taking acting classes at the age of six and started writing poetry & short stories at the age of nine. She continued to pursue both; acting as a fun hobby whereas writing was a passion and a skill she continued to develop over the years.

In the late teen years Jacqui began painting. In High School she performed in a feature play on stage as Ginny in a production of For Whom The Southern Bell Tolls and wrote her first novel senior year, which was published in the High School Literary Magazine. She continued to pursue many of her artistic outlets through the years, eventually leading her to digital photography and a whole new world of video editing, which eventually led her to the idea that she could make films. Taking years of experience and a lifetime of love and passion immersed in the world of art and entertainment, Jacqui put herself through film school in 2011, while homeschooling and raising her five young sons. During her time in film school she worked with the Florida Media Market, worked the 2013 Annual Bridge to the World Conference and as a video editor for the Florida Media Market's Project-A-Thon. Immediately after film school, she worked on completing the documentary idea she started in 2011.
