Congratulations to Re-Take Oakland filmmaker, Jessica Jones, for being selected for the Wexner Center for the Arts Studio Film Residency at the University of Ohio. The residencies support projects in the post-production process and offer artists time and space to focus on their work without distraction.
Jessica Jones is currently in post-production on her film, Women Who Ride, an intimate portrait of D’Vious Wayz Motorcycle Club, Oakland’s first Black all-women motorcycle club. Led by Tish Edwards, this group has been together for 20 years, but as membership dwindles during COVID and family responsibilities mount, multiple challenges will need to be addressed on the journey ahead.
