Jody Belsher
Jody Belsher is a Documentarian, and creator of the Documentary Film "The Other Side of Cannabis".
Prior to her work as a documentarian, Jody pursued her artistic talents working as a freelance graphic designer and calligrapher. Her company, J. Belsher Creative, expanded into music management. In addition to graphics and music, she currently represents World Music group Tukuleur--based in Paris/Senegal.
As life twists and turns, Jody found herself drawn back to her roots and back to songwriting. Jody writes and
performs with her Martin D35 guitar and on the same piano she used at 11 years old. She recently completed her CD "Starlight." While on the set of a new music video for her song “Gather the Dreams,” Jody got the idea to film a documentary. Drawing from her own family’s downward spiral from the negative effects of marijuana, Jody travelled across the U.S. to interview Harvard researchers, Neuro-scientists, as well as personal stories of those in rehabs and families who have suffered the consequences of today’s potent marijuana. The 70 minute documentary is produced, directed and edited by Belsher as well as post production producer Meg Prior. This is Jody’s first venture into filmmaking.
