J.A. Cinema is all about films.
We are a full-service film production company specializing in film entertainment, commercial advertising, and branded content. We are here to meet your needs in any area of film from conceptualization to editing.
Here’s a bit of our history.
Jessica Arena
Lover of movies, Founder and Director of J.A. Cinema, Jessica Arena, has been involved in professional production since graduating with her Bachelor’s in Media & Cinema Studies in 2011. Jessica is not only a Director, but an Actress and a Model as well. Arena has always had a love for the visual arts and acquired experience working on feature films, short films, documentaries, television, stop-motion animation, and content creation.
J.A. Cinema intends to be an extension of that; working closely with business-to-customer clients as well as producing original entertainment pieces.
Contrary to popular hipster culture, and just culture in general, Jess does not drink coffee or tea, but is very fond of hot chocolate and chocolate milk. You can often find her traveling and car camping with her 2-door 1999 green Jeep Cherokee Sport (which she works on herself), and sometimes a doggo.

J.A. Cinema
In 2019, J.A. Cinema was officially launched!
Our first year in business has had some unexpected challenges with a global pandemic, but we don’t plan to let that get in our way. Rather, we adjust to the circumstances around us, doing all we can to provide a safe working environment. This includes, but is not limited to: wearing and providing masks on set, utilizing hand sanitizer, having designated personal water bottles for cast/crew, shortening our working hours on set, only allowing necessary crew on set to keep numbers to a minimum, and following any other necessary guidelines required by state and federal regulations.
For some highlights of our work, please view the video below.
