About me
Candice Vernon a Writer/Director, Producer, and all around Creative Thinker, has always been a natural leader, hailing from the small parish of St Ann, Jamaica. In her junior year at Temple University’s renown film program she co-founded her first production company APE Films, producing and co-directing a range of projects, including the 8th Annual Philly Music Awards, video bio’s for local celebrity musicians/entertainers, and a PSA for the city of Philadelphia's fire safety campaign Take It Outside.Soon after receiving her B.A., Miss Vernon began her career casting for film and television, with Grant Wilfley Casting, on productions such as Mad Men, Across the Universe, and Law and Order: Criminal Intent. She also co-created, directed, and produced Broke Celebrity, a reality television show pilot for celebrity stylist Indashio. In the interim she wrote, directed, and produced a narrative short film Apartment 309 co-starring Ice-T. The film hit The Big Apple Film Festival, The Women’ s International Film Festival, and the New Filmmakers Showcase. This then led to a 1-year license on Television Jamaica. Soon after she was hired as the Associate Producer and Assistant Director on the feature film, The Grasslands, starring Peter Green (Pulp Fiction), Chuck Zito (Oz), James Madio (Basketball Diaries) and Arthur Nascarella (Sopranos).
Taking a detour from directing for several years, Miss Vernon became an Executive Producer in Advertising Content Production with clients such as Time Warner Cable, Jockey, and many more. While producing national TV spots, Miss Vernon also co created and produced two TV pilots (Calypso & Stoop Life) as well as a feature documentary (Maree V. State). Most recently she has left the world of corporate Advertising to return to writing and directing. Within months of her departure two of her episodic projects (Three Months and a Baby & Finding Jane) were selected as semi finalists for the Sundance New Voices Lab. Shortly after Candice wrote, directed, and produced “Make America Great?” an award winning short film, which also appeared in The Hollywood Reporter, Decider, and other publications. Candice is currently developing other short form content, including content for The Dollar Shave Club, and feature film projects.
Creating stirring and engaging narrative content is a love of hers and is evident in all of her work and partnerships to date. She looks forward to creating thought provoking and entertaining content on all screens.
