Jasmine Edwards is a queer, multiracial Black-Chinese American 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 narratives that center overlooked communities and explore themes of racial justice, mental health, and identity. Her filmmaking journey began at 17 with Stop the Violence, a documentary on the aftermath of the Santa Fe shooting that screened in Times Square and was recognized by the Anti-Defamation League Southwest. At NYU, her work—including Confined, nominated for the Winter Showcase, and her pilot Strings, a Top 10 NYU Pitch Night project that placed in the Top 5% on Coverfly—earning recognition for its empathy and cultural insight.
Professionally, Jasmine has worked in creative development across television and film at RadicalMedia, Untitled Entertainment, and NBCUniversal.
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.
