Jamie Foley started her film career 30 years ago as the production designer for an independent feature, "The White Ocean," which was developed through the Sundance Lab in 1991. She went on to continue work in the art department on numerous feature films, both studio and independent, as well as music videos, commercials, themed entertainment, and short films.
In 1995 she became a project manager for Scenery West, a custom fabrication company specializing in sets, props, miniatures, and models where she worked with top designers in film, video, commercial, and themed entertainment.
Jamie expanded to produce short films including "Keys for Two," a live-action/animation short. She also designed and produced numerous entertainment-themed events for the Israeli Ministry of Tourism, The Friends of Runyon Canyon "Save the Canyon" campaign and coverage of the first "California AIDS Ride."
In 1996 she founded Organic Films, Inc., an independent production company. Jamie secured a contract for Organic Films with Disney Animation to produce the Live-Action Rotoscoping for the animated feature Pocahontas 2: Journey to a New World (1998). Organic Films was also contracted with Paramount Pictures to produce numerous short "test reels" for the Beavis and Butthead Franchise in consideration for a future Live Action/Animation feature film.
Jamie changed careers in 2001 and became the case manager (and then clinical director) for MAP (Musicians' Assistance Program). MAP was a non-profit founded by Buddy Arnold that provided musicians and music industry professionals with referrals, assessments, and funding for the treatment of alcohol and drug addiction. Her position at MAP allowed her the unique experience of working with a great number of musicians as well as treatment facilities and sober livings on a local and national level. Shortly after joining MAP, she became a duly accredited Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselor II (CADC), professionally certified by the California Certification Board of Alcohol and Drug Counselors and a Certified Clinical Supervisor (CSS).
Her experience at MAP inspired her to found Magnolia Place, a sober living home for alcoholic and drug-addicted women located in Jefferson Park, Los Angeles where she also served as executive director. During her time at Magnolia Place, she produced over 20 short films documenting both her experience and that of individual women at the sober living.
Jamie has also served in numerous volunteer positions such as board member & program director for Westside Family Services (a Los Angeles-based non-profit counseling center where she specialized in individual, group, and family counseling sessions); President of Felicity House Sober Living in Culver City; board member of TIAC (Training Institute of Addiction Counselors) in Lakewood, Ca; board member at Mentorship, Arise & Shine Haven in Los Angeles, Ca; and as a volunteer for the Mentorship Program at Penny Lane Centers in California.
