It was an amazing experience working with actress Jamila Bishop, she brought so much diversity and quality to our production as a supporting character in her role as soldier one. All of our cast needed to do a crash course on martial art combat training, it was very intense and required a lot commitment, Jamila rose to the auction. I would love to hire her again for other opportunities.

I have worked with Jamila for several years on the set of the stage play Sunday Brunch. She always has a positive attitude, she's very confident and a whole lot of fun to work with. She gave her all and meshed with the cast after our first rehearsal as if we had known each other for years. She has a beautiful personality she is determined and focused on her goals and I wish her much success in all her endeavors.

I have had the privilege of working with Jamila Bishop in both Theater and Film. She is truly a gem on and off set. She is always on time and prepared. Every chance she gets she is assisting anyone in every capacity she can be of assistance. Jamila not only goes above and beyond to execute her performance but she does it with a sense of geuiness making each role she portrays appear to have been written with her in mind. Jamila is a kind spirited young lady that encourages and supports her fellow cast mates every step of the way. You can always count on her for a good laugh, a positive vibe and sincerity. Anyone that has the opportunity to work with her will say, "Jamila Bishop is a God-sent!"
