### The Outpost

In 2018, Jessica landed the worldwide search for the lead role of 'Talon' in *The Outpost*. She submitted a tape of herself to the producers that included her acting, and an additional tape of her doing MMA. The producers wondered if she could do sword-fighting, and the next day she sent a video of her sword-fighting. After reading the script, Jessica knew that the role would require weapons training, and recorded her first lesson with a professional. According to Jonathan Glassner, the stunt team was surprised at how well she did for her first lesson.

*The Outpost* marked her first major role in the US as her previous filmographies were in Australia. The role capitalizes on Jessica's love for action with her mixed martial arts, horse riding, weapon skills, and athletic abilities enabling her to also do her stunts and thoroughly embody the strong female character. She learned boxing, muay Thai, and trains at a mixed martial arts gym in Australia.

While on set filming Season 4, Jake Stormoen met a stray dog that was roaming the set. The one dog turned out to belong to a litter of stray puppies, who had taken housing in the sets. Jessica fostered two of the puppies.
