Jess Wiegandt Productions

Creative Content, Eco-Engaged

Jess Wiegandt Productions is a full-service production company specializing in stories of impact involving wildlife, the environment, and outdoor adventure.

I have worked on content for outdoor companies and magazines, Maryland Public Television's Chesapeake Bay Week, and have completed projects involving noteworthy athletes, stories of ecological advancement, and showing what can be accomplished in a community.

From a young age, my parents instilled a love for nature and getting outside, and I grew up paddling and exploring the southeast. I attended Brevard College, where I received my BA in Wilderness Leadership and Experiential Education (WLEE) and Journalism.

Driven to tell stories about conservation and passion in the outdoors, I am now an award-winning filmmaker pursuing my MFA at American University in environmental and social impact filmmaking. My projects often focus on the health of rivers, including my thesis film featuring the James River, "Troubled Tributary: Maryland's Patuxent River," which focuses on environmental justice in relation to river history, and "The Grand Salmon Project," a film currently in production.
