Jessica Ambuehl is a Midwest born and raised award-winning performer with decades of experience on both sides of the camera. Her resume boasts over 250 acting projects from commercials, TV, and films to industrials, voice overs, and modeling with the assistance of agents in multiple markets across the nation. Her recent performance as a grieving mother in the short film "Dolly" has received special accolades in multiple local and international festivals. And, her versatility shines through her various roles such as a news reporter in the feature "Becoming" with Toby Kebbell, as a self-medicated divorcee and mother in "Greg's Going to Rehab" with Jim Beaver, as a station producer with Mykelti Williamson in "Get Ross Clay," as an off-her-rocker protective mother in "Spanks" with David Faustino, as the Goddess Isis in the family feature "Shakespeare's Mummy," as a spunky southern woman in "The Baker Brothers," as a triangle-scheming beauty consultant in "The Racket," as a faith-based store owner in the TV show "Solomon's Porch," and as Susan Carver in her supporting role in "The Peanut Man." Jessica's work spans across other storytelling platforms from being the spokesperson of Commerce Bank to the automated voice of T-Mobile calls to doing satire news for The Onion with over half-a-million views to representing national brands on screen/in print for Splenda, ACE Hardware, Goodwill, United Airlines, Rigid, Marriott, Energizer, ZIWI, Klogs, and Right Guard to name a few. She is a large supporter of her local media industry and serves on several boards, including Film in MO, Continuity, and St. Louis Filmworks. She teaches The Business Side of Acting workshops, mentors acting students for Reflect the Dream Acting School in L.A., and produces and speaks at production workshops across the state of Missouri. Jessica has over 100 productions working behind the camera under her belt, representing companies and nonprofits such as NBC Universal, Hayden5, GQ, Amazon, HGTV, and Turner Entertainment across multiple countries. She earned a Master's Degree in Public Relations and Marketing in 2002 and incorporated her earlier-developed skills as an event producer and graphic designer into her work in the film/TV industry in producing, directing, casting, location scouting/managing, second assistant directing, catering, and wardrobe styling. But, one of her favorite story forms and passions for over fifteen years is providing pro bono photojournalism for nonprofits around the world (mostly in developing nations) through her company Under The Tree Designs . . . giving her the honor of capturing life through her lens in developing nations. Jessica uses imagery to connect the world through human experiences by evoking emotions in the audience to desire to learn more, value differences, discover beauty in brokenness, and expose them to a world they didn't know existed but can no longer deny.
