Chassidy Jade

Chassidy Jade is an editor, producer and director who has made monumental strides in the entertainment industry. What's impeccable about Chassidy is all the different initiatives she's set into motion. With her desire to make opportunities in post-production more accessible, her success in various entrepreneurial pursuits and career, as a whole, is all about hustle, willpower, staying excellent and taking risks.

As a creative reppin' Memphis, Tennessee, and Miami, Florida, we get to talk about the vibrancy of Black creativity in Memphis and how one of her first big jobs came to be, editing and producing recaps on tour with Chris Brown right after college, which was an opportunity that presented itself after she and her roommate started crashing sets and meeting people in the industry. This risky move gave her a pivotal skill in the area of editing, one that she still prides herself on today.

Chassidy has already made history as the first Black woman senior lead editor for the NBA. An opportunity she says inspired her to help kick open doors for others, like her involvement with Charlotte-based Black Girls Film Camp and in starting Editbae Post, her very own post-production company. We also get to talk about the creation of Crown Me Royal Labs, her production company that began as an outpouring of appreciation for visual artists, dancers, designers and art.

Chassidy's other credits include Dear Mama, Creed III, Savage x Fenty Show Vol. 4 and Everything Everywhere All at Once.
