Terrero, who is considered one of the most influential music video directors in urban culture, transitioned into Film and TV with his first move being the cult classic SOUL PLANE, a film that marked the debut of comedian Kevin Hart and Sofia Vergara. His long standing relationship with 50 Cent led him to direct a series of features in which the rap icon starred in including, FREELANCERS with Robert De Niro and Forrest Whitaker; and GUN with Val Kilmer.
Wanting to honor his heritage, Terrero started to focus his directing and producing efforts in the Latinx market bringing with him the experience garnered in his previous projects. He created and directed the Netflix Original NICKY JAM: EL GANADOR. The success of the show led him to a blind deal with YouTube Originals where he developed BRAVAS, an all-female cast series set in Puerto Rico. Under his production company Cinema Giants, Jessy continues to develop stories for the international market as well as partnering with domestic buyers such as Showtime or Apple, where he currently has series in development and is attached to direct.
