Award-winning Nevisian-American actress Juliette Jeffers is set to make cinematic history as she returns to the tranquil shores of Nevis to shoot her latest film, a passion project scripted by the celebrated artist herself. With a career spanning over 25 years in Hollywood, Jeffers has worked alongside screen icons such as Will Smith and Susan Sarandon, gracing over 22 films, 40 television shows, and 60 national commercials.

Fresh off conducting two highly acclaimed Acting Masterclasses in Nevis earlier this year, where 30 aspiring actors honed their craft under her expert guidance, Jeffers is now poised to place Nevis firmly on the map as a prime filming destination. The upcoming film will not only showcase the island’s breathtaking beauty but will also feature local talent, further amplifying the Nevis Film Commission’s tagline: “Nevis; the added character in your film.”

Jeffers’ profound connection to her Nevisian heritage shines through in her work. Known for her dynamic performances in hit series such as Criminal Minds, Grey’s Anatomy, and Bones, she has carved out a unique space in the entertainment industry. Her theatrical works, including the award-winning one-woman show Batman and Robin in the Boogie Down, have earned her critical acclaim and prestigious accolades such as the BRIO Award for Excellence in Acting.

The island’s burgeoning film industry eagerly anticipates the impact of Jeffers’ return, with the Nevis Film Commission hailing the project as a transformative step in positioning Nevis as a sought-after film location.

Jeffers’ star power continues to rise, with her latest appearance set to premiere on Netflix next month in The Residence, produced by the powerhouse Shondaland studio, led by the acclaimed Shonda Rhimes.

With cameras set to roll and excitement mounting, Juliette Jeffers is not just bringing her story back to Nevis—she’s writing a new chapter for the island’s cinematic legacy.
