Composition and Screenwriting by Jessy Ribordy

  • "I'm certain there are still other worlds inside of Jessy. I've been impressed by his seemingly limitless stores of creativity and by his technical ability to manifest his imagination onto the page clearly and powerfully."

    Ethan Gross, Writer, Ad Astra

  • "Jessy's ability to dive into different genres and instrumentations whilst maintaining a consistent theme and "brand" throughout each show is a highlight for the audience. From big boisterous orchestrations to intimate melodies that make you lean closer to the stories being told, Jessy nails it!"

    Shane Burrell

  • "Jessy is one of the few that can actually hear and uncover and compose the music that was meant to be there, that perhaps was always there from the beginning."

    David Wall, Gold Dust
