Filmmaker and Creative

Connecting people through art.

Hi! I’m Jasmine Townsend, a Minneapolis-based filmmaker and storyteller with a deep love for creating and sharing the vivid stories that play out in my mind. Ever since I can remember, my daydreams have felt like a private theater, inspiring me to turn those visions into tangible works of art. I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Cinema and Media Culture and a Digital Media minor from the University of Minnesota, and I’m now exploring my creative voice through freelance videography, independent filmmaking, and my work with the Minneapolis St. Paul Film Society. For me, filmmaking is all about connection—I want my work to embody the beauty, mess, and emotion of the human experience and make people feel. I hope to share my films on the big screen, but in the meantime, I’ll keep chasing stories, finding inspiration in every day, and pouring pieces of myself into every project.
