Jacqueline Dalunde - Founder & Executive Producer of apparentlyjack

Jacqueline Dalunde is the founder and Executive Producer of apparentlyjack, a production and development company based in LA. I've known Jack for quite some time and feel fortunate to consider her a friend and ally. She was one of my first interviews when I started the pod. I was a HOT MESS. Talk about mistakes. I had major technical issues, the room we chose was echo AF. I felt really embarrassed. Think: overly dramatic/existential "why even bother doing this" vibes.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Yet, she stayed cool, calm, and collected. Classy lady. ⁣⁣ We decided to re-record, however, mostly because it's been a year and a half since and so much has changed in her life.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ She now lives in Sweden, which proved serendipitous timing. Nordic countries have been able to keep production active during Covid-19, so she gives us an insider look as to what that means. Her background spans almost every aspect of the filmmaking process from development to delivery, in both the branded and Independent film/television spaces. She got her start in 2011 working with producer Chris Gibbin. Together, they collaborated with top cinematographers in the business (Wally Pfister, Janusz Kaminski and Phedon Papamichael) on a content series called Advanced Filmmaking. Some time later, she became Head of Production at LA-Based Agency Something Massive. She built the video & photo departments from the ground up while developing/producing features, shorts and branded content for Fortune 500 companies. With 10+ years in the film and advertising industries, Jacqueline decided to go out on her own to form the content studio apparentlyjack. It’s mission is to produce and develop cinematic storytelling and storyline driven content in a variety of formats. During our hour together, Jack shines a bright light on the importance of talking to each other. Seems obvious, but you'd be surprised.⁣⁣ It is only through discussion (and action), that we can de-stigmatize mental health, grow from our mistakes, and get closer to achieving inclusion and gender parity in front and behind the camera.⁣⁣ Can’t wait to hear what you think of this week’s episode!
