Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin
Head of Entertainment Business Management
A passionate advocate of convergence in the entertainment space, Jessica Leigh Clark-Bojin has focused the last several years of her career on helping entertainment executives in the traditional disciplines of film, television, and games capitalize on new opportunities made possible by digital media. In her capacity as a founding executive of Zeros 2 Heroes Media, Jessica has worked with CBC, Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), Seven24 Films, Halifax Film, BioWare, Rainmaker Entertainment, and many others to develop strategies that capture increasingly fragmented audiences, take advantage of emerging revenue models, and in several cases, garner industry awards.
In addition to more than 30 comic properties for clients as diverse the Canadian International Development Agency, the Province of New Brunswick, and ATB Financial, Jessica has also produced an original digital media pilot for CBC (Solar Flair) and a television series for APTN (Animism).
Jessica is the co-author of "Digital Strategies for Film and Television Properties" aimed at demystifying the digital world for film, television, and broadcast executives, and is currently working on a second publication for independent filmmakers with a major American book publisher.
To further extend her reach as a proponent of convergent content, Jessica has partnered with funding agencies and industry organizations such as British Columbia Film, the National Screen Institute, the Canadian Film and Television Producers Association, and The Bell Fund to produce a cross-country seminar series that will bring together producers and executives from all realms to discuss the evolution of their medium. Jessica has spoken at seminars and festivals throughout North America, including lecturing at San Diego's Comic-Con International and the Toronto International Film Festival as a featured new media consultant.
