Jasmine Edwards is a queer, multicultural screenwriter and filmmaker from Houston, Texas, driven by a belief in storytelling as both art and advocacy. A graduate of NYU Tisch School of the Arts, she crafts emotionally resonant stories that center overlooked communities while exploring racial injustice, systemic oppression, and questions of identity.
       Her filmmaking journey began at 17 with Stop the Violence, a documentary capturing how the Santa Fe High School shooting affected the students and staff at her neighboring high school. The film was selected for the All-American High School Film Festival, screened in Times Square, and later recognized by the Anti-Defamation League Southwest for its powerful social impact.
       While at NYU, Jasmine developed projects that highlighted her voice as a writer—Confined, nominated for the Tisch 2020 Winter Showcase, and Strings, a Top 10 Pitch Night selection that placed in the top 35% on Coverfly in 2023. More recently, her latest pilot, The Hollywood Desk, was named a 2025 Quarterfinalist in the International Screenwriters Association’s ‘The Great Pitch’ Competition.
       Professionally, Jasmine has worked in creative development and production across television and film at RadicalMedia, Untitled Entertainment, HBO, Backlot, NBCUniversal, and Creative Artists Agency.
       Now, she leads Narrative Network, a grassroots space for emerging post-grad storytellers, while developing new projects for fellowships, labs, and representation.
       Jasmine is dedicated to building visibility, community, and change through stories that reflect truth—and reimagine what’s possible.
