Jessica Ellerby on her love for directing and playing 'someone nice for once' on 'Living the Dream'

With a love for the stage that developed at a young age, and also an active interest in yoga, Ellerby's latest creation is another short film, which also happens to be a horror.

From playing the 'hideous' Jane on Netflix's 'Lovesick' to the overly 'nice' Stacee in 'Living the Dream', Jessica Ellerby has been a lot of things. Apart from acing such polar opposite roles to perfection, Ellerby is also a creator of 'The Hungry Games' which has specks of some absolutely impeccable content in the genre of social, observational comedy, as she herself puts it. With a love for the stage that developed at a young age, and also an active interest in yoga, Ellerby's latest creation is another short film, which also happens to be a horror.
