LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- New Kid On The Block Secures Spot at Black Women In Comedy Festival

New to the behind the scenes work in the film industry, Jaheyla Jones (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm10447307/) has directed, written, produced and starred in Millenial Sketch Show,. As a young black woman and actor, Jones, struggled to get roles and auditions. She spent much of her time trying to fit into the film world as just an actress, never truly feeling seen or even fulfilled.

A year ago, Jones (https://www.instagram.com/jaheyla/) decided to stop waiting for the moment she would be welcomed into Hollywood and decided to create her own opportunities. She founded Blaqq Productions, (https://www.blaqq.net/) a company that centers communities of colors and a variety of voices. It was here that she started writing, directing, and truly enjoying the world of film.
