Rashida Jones has forged a singular path as an actor, writer, producer and director.

Jones starred in Sofia Coppola’s On The Rocks opposite Bill Murray. The film had its world premiere at the New York Film Festival in September 2020 and was released in October by A24 and Apple TV+. On Jones’ performance, The Boston Globe wrote that “she is capable of something few actors manage: she makes thinking dramatically interesting,” and Variety called it “the full-scale movie role she deserves.” Time writes, Jones “holds her own against (Murray) and as a vibrant and perceptive actor, she matches Murray beat for beat. When he zigs, she zags, challenging him to follow. Their dance has a prickly, electric warmth.”

Jones starred in, executive-produced, and directed a pivotal episode of #BlackAF, a half-hour comedy created by Kenya Barris for Netflix. Additionally, Jones provided the voice of the character of Mia on Fox’s Duncanville. Jones launched a podcast with Bill Gates called Bill Gates and Rashida Jones Ask Big Questions. Each week, the two hosts tackled some of the biggest questions facing us today: Is it too late to solve climate change? Does everybody lie? Is inequality inevitable? Their premiere episode featured Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Jones co-directed Quincy, with Al Hicks, which won numerous awards including a Grammy for ‘Best Music Film.’ Additional directing credits include the music video for Sara Bareilles’ Brave (which has over 100 million views on YouTube), an animated Time’s Up PSA voiced by Donald Glover and episodic work on #BlackAF, Angie Tribeca and Hot Girls Wanted:Turned On.

Jones produced the Emmy-nominated documentary Hot Girls Wanted, and, along with collaborators Jill Bauer and Ronna Gradus, Jones produced, co-created, and directed the follow up Netflix anthology Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On. Her writing credits include ‘Nosedive’, the first episode in the third series of the science fiction anthology series Black Mirror.

Acting film credits include Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning Klaus, Spies In Disguise, The Social Network, Celeste and Jesse Forever, I Love You Man, and The Muppets. Television credits include Angie Tribeca, Parks And Recreation, The Office, Boston Public, Freaks and Geeks, Chappelle Show, and Portlandia.

Jones is a co-founder of Time’s Up. She is also a voice for the International Rescue Committee.
