Jolene T. Carter is an award-winning filmmaker, photographer, musician, and jack of all trades when it comes to creative arts. Her films have screened at film festivals in the United States and internationally, including a screening at the renowned Centre Pompidou in Paris.
​
Born and raised in New York, Jolene is a graduate of Howard University's Masters of Fine Arts in Film program. Her body of work consists of poetic, speculative stories that thrust characters into fantastical scenarios as a way to confront their deepest flaws. In all of her art, she draws from her upbringing as a Black girl in the city, exploring the intersection of identity, faith, and culture.​
As the CEO of JT Carter Productions, she creates visual media for some of the largest organizations and local businesses alike. Also a hip-hop artist and music producer, she is the founder and host of Create on Purpose, a series of open sessions to platform local artists and build community among creatives.

music.
Jolene blends melodic beats with deep introspective lyrics. Her sound is a combination of the music that made her: hip hop, RnB, and gospel. Her lyrical storytelling draws listeners in as she explores life, faith, and black womanhood as a twenty-something. A true musician, Jolene produces, records, and mixes for herself as well as other indie artists of all genres.
