Jackie Medel, Chief Multi Media & Production Officer

Jackie is the Chief Multi Media and Production Officer for RVM Enterprises. Since before she could speak, the first thing she would do with a new toy or gadget is flip it over and trace the gears, looking for what made it tick. She's carried this process of wanting to know the inner workings of things through her life and brings it to her filmmaking as well. Coming from a background in both film editing and music, detail is something that is incredibly important to her. Knowing exactly how a scene or phrase of music should fit together and studying it, trying different variations until it hits the right notes is her favorite part of the creative process. She sees the whole filmmaking process as a giant building block where each level must come together perfectly to achieve the end product.

Jackie currently owns and operates the production company Kapow! Entertainment and they just released their first feature film, Day 13, in August of 2020. Prior to that she directed a number of critically acclaimed short films, some of which were shown at various film festivals around the country, TV pilots, and a reality show featuring RIF LA, the most prominent sneaker resale shop in downtown Los Angeles.
