In the wake of her sudden death, the director of Jessi Combs‘ upcoming film said the movie will be dedicated to her memory.
In an interview with Fox News, director and producer Thomas Smugala shared that Combs had a role in his film Interviewing Monsters and Bigfoot.
“This was her first feature film,” Smugala told the outlet. “We are dedicating the film to Jessi. She was a good friend and a wonderful person. We are also in the process of putting her on the poster and cover art before the release of the film.”
Smugala also said that the professional racer and television personality “rose to the occasion” while shooting the film.
“Everyone was telling me not to use a reality show celebrity on the film, but I knew she would handle it just fine,” the director shared. “I mean, all she had to do was a long dialogue-filled scene while being chased by the law. Jessi and I agreed that shooting it while she was actually driving would be best. So, with the help of the Cape Girardeau, Missouri police, we closed off the streets and did it. Jessi rose to the occasion just as I thought she would.”
Smugala said Combs’ costars “loved her” on set, and she often gave “motivation talks” to the young girls involved in the movie.
“Everyone loved her on set. The cops, the crew, the caterer — she took time to talk to everyone,” he shared. “She was the kindest and [most] uplifting person in the world. She was fierce. She was giving. She was loyal. She will be missed by all.”
According to Fox News, Interviewing Monsters and Bigfoot premieres on September 13.
