Background

Amanda Prescott is an independent, multidisciplinary filmmaker, performer, and special effects makeup artist whose work spans screenwriting, directing, producing, editing, sound design, and practical effects. With over 12 years of experience in special effects makeup and formal certification through Online Makeup Academy, she brings a hands-on, detail-driven approach to every stage of production.

​

Best known for creating the original horror character Jester’s Scream, Amanda develops projects within collaborative production environments, leading work from pre-production through final cut. Her work includes short films, narrative skits, and digital projects produced for online platforms, demonstrating consistency, adaptability, and a strong command of visual storytelling.

Her background is rooted in independent production workflows, where she balances creative vision with practical execution—overseeing story development, performance, visual effects, and post-production to deliver cohesive, character-driven horror projects across multiple formats.
