JESSY CALE WILLIAMSON
WRITER PRODUCER DIRECTOR PHOTOGRAPHER
Jessy Cale Williamson was born in New Orleans Louisiana and grew up on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. His passion for film and photography was evident at an early age. He was given his first camera at the age of eight and started shooting his first videos at the age of twelve. After graduating from Covington High School he started working in the restaurant business where he quickly moved up the ranks and became a chef. After several years of traveling and cooking, Bridgette Raimer, now his wife, convinced him to focus his energy on academia and he eventually graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University on the Dean's List for academic excellence.
In 2007 Williamson saw an opportunity to enter the film industry and after fifteen years in the restaurant industry he decided to change careers. Hard work and a hands on approach led him to working in multiple departments on many films, including: Secretariat, Green Lantern, 21 Jump Street, Parker and the television shows Imagination Movers, Great Weekends, and Sons of Guns.
His directorial debut, A Warehouse on Tchoupitoulas, had its world premiere to a sold out crowd at the 2013 New Orleans film festival. It was also accepted into the French Quarter fest, Pontchartrain film fest, Asheville Cinema fest and the Cinema on the Bayou film festival.
Since then, Glass Pictures has had films in over 30 film festivals, several films have been featured on television, and currently has three films available on Amazon Prime.
JEREMY DEAN TURNER
ACTOR PRODUCER 1ST AD EDITOR
Jeremy Dean Turner grew up in Nashville, TN, he spent his childhood and teenage years watching hundreds of films. While he couldn’t quite put his finger on it at the time, there was something that kept drawing him back to the world of cinema.
In his twenties he began to explore acting and set work. His first experiences included being a production assistant, extra, co-starring in a one act play, and starring in student films.
In his thirties he moved to Southeastern Louisiana where he first met and formed a friendship with Jessy Williamson. His interest in the film industry was rekindled and resulted in him performing in an independent low budget horror film called Feral and being an extra on dozens of films shot in the New Orleans area. The highlight of the year however was working fifteen days as a photo double on Nine Dead. While he received no official credit on the film, the educational experience of being on set for the entire shoot proved invaluable.
Around 2008 Jeremy and Jessy took their first shot at making the short film, Blood Brothers. While it was completely filmed, several issues in post made it impossible to be released. Since then Jeremy has worked on every Glass Pictures production.
During that time, Jeremy played a vast array of characters and also fell in love with working behind the camera. Truly a man of many hats, he's done everything from catering and costumes to producing and editing.

He began playing music at age 12, starting on the guitar. He spent his junior high and high school years taking private music lessons and playing in various bands. His passion and love of movies and film scores was probably evident, even before he began playing. His
appreciation for composers like Michael Kamen, Maurice Jarre and Danny Elfman began as a small child and remains to this day. At 19, Bryan began to playing piano and quickly became even more interested in classical music and composition.
Bryan began working in restaurants as a teenager. In 1998, at one of the restaurants, he met Jessy Williamson, who was working as a chef and hired him for his first cooking job and a long time friendship emerged. Bryan continued to work in Louisiana for several more years before he decided to move to Los Angeles and attend Musicians Institute, where he studied music performance, composition and sound engineering. After graduating, he decided to move back to Louisiana and complete his degree in classical composition from the University of New Orleans.
In early 2020, Bryan reconnected with Jessy Williamson, who asked him to write the score to his first feature film "Broken Down". Bryan is currently working as a composer for Glass Pictures as well as writing music for a world-wide religious website. He is planning to return to school to pursue his master's degree in composition and orchestration.
