Biography
Jadey is an award-winning director, writer, with an expertise in comedy-action. With a background in dance, mo-cap and all things action, Jadey has worked on 'Fast & Furious 6', 'The Huntsman: Winter's War', 'Ready Player One', 'The World's End' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. Specialising in infusing creativity into physical comedy, she brings a working-class, female perspective to her authentic and fresh narratives. Through DreamMore Films, Jadey directed the award-winning, BAFTA-qualifying '10 Minutes For A Pound', the mischievous 'Sticky Fingers' (starring BAFTA nominee Amit Shah), and her latest award-winning film, 'The Last Dumpling', funded by Emmy-nominated Christin Baker. Currently, Jadey is writing and pitching several comedy TV shows and working on her debut feature, 'Bingo Bastards', with exec producer Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, Game of Thrones). She shadowed director Tristram Shapeero on the CBS/Big Talk sitcom 'Dinner with the Parents' and was part of the Directors UK Inspire scheme, mentored by Jennifer Sheridan, the director of 'Extraordinary' on Disney Plus. Jadey has just wrapped up an action-packed quadrilogy of short ads for the BFI's Art of Action season, featuring titles like ‘Gone in 54 Seconds’, ‘Pop Fiction’, ‘Pirates of the Canteen’, and ‘Whose Line is it Anyway’. Jadey is currently shadowing director Christopher McQuarrie on the latest ‘Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning’.

From the Judges, on Love & Bullets (2026)
From the Judges, on Love & Bullets
A tight thriller that grabs attention from its opening overhead shot and holds it right through, this short makes every second count. Crisp cinematography, beautiful lighting and colour grading give it real polish, and the sound design sits hand in glove with the images. The panel enjoyed the quick, witty writing, the sense of the wider landscape around a two-hander, and performances that carry genuine comic charge.
