Jessica Tremblay is a bilingual Canadian screenwriter based in Vancouver. She is also a haiku poet and a cartoonist who favours a minimalist approach to scriptwriting.

After eight years working in the television industry, at Global News in Montreal and at Diversus alongside producers Ari A. Cohen and Evan Beloff, whose documentaries have been broadcast on CBC, Global, CTV, WTSN, and CityTV, she now devotes her time to writing feature films.

Winner of the From Our Dark Side competition, she was mentored by Vancouver Women in Film and Television to develop her first feature, Storage. The project was pitched at the Fantasia International Film Festival's Frontières co-production market in 2018, thanks to a Passport to Markets grant from Creative BC.

Her short film Cocoon is currently in pre-production.
