Jemma Cotter

Jemma Cotter is a creative and passionate filmmaker who has a hunger to tell stories about outsiders, weirdos, and anyone who doesn’t quite fit in. With a special place in her heart for comedy, Jemma has directed short films, commercial content, comedy sketches, web series', and even wound up filming feminist erotica for a while. After completing a Bachelor of Film and Television (Hons) from Swinburne University of Technology, she discovered a passion for online content and used it as an excuse to validate her YouTube addiction. She went on to win a Highly Commended Award from Tropfest for her comedy ‘Pills of Wisdom' in a short film competition. Her follow-up short ‘Flicking the Bean’ toured nationally, screening at CinefestOZ, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and Sydney Fringe. She was nominated for Best Direction in Commercial Content by the Australian Directors Guild for her series with Clickview in 2021. She has directed and edited content for brands such as CFA, AFL, Myer, and Okana.
