who, me?

Jasmin Prophete (they/them) is a Caribbean-American screenwriter and filmmaker based between New York and Los Angeles. As a second-generation immigrant, they spent their entire life convinced they’d have to become a doctor, lawyer, or engineer until a poem they wrote in 7th grade won them admission into film school. Thank you affirmative action. Now, Jasmin specializes in epilogues, and enjoys penning narratives that revolve around the healing that comes after surviving adversity. Their work often centers queer and trans stories, urban politics, and families – both found and inherited. Entering the entertainment industry with an extensive background in social justice work, they are instinctively drawn to challenging and surprising stories about marginalized communities and liberation.   

Jasmin is a 2024 member of Scope of Work. They recently finished their BFA in Dramatic Writing and Social & Cultural Analysis as an MLK Scholar at NYU Tisch. They have also spent the last two years working as an Executive Assistant and Associate Producer at Intuition Films, (now Purple Intuition), where they supported award-winning shorts from development through post-production. Recently, they have completed work on their first short film, “Leo Lets It Rain,” which will soon begin its festival run. Jasmin’s long-term goal is to become a showrunner and writer-director. They spend their days eating their greens, info-dumping about public transportation, and studying for the LSAT to please their mother before they make it big.
