“Jess is someone who’s just starting to find herself. Though she appears confident and popular on the outside, she’s always been a bit of a lone wolf.”

“The Fall was an incredible experience. Alan and Julien (director and producer) were so sweet and chilled out. But they meant business too,” she said.
