Dear Kindred Spirit

Jenny Robertson is a filmmaker, producer, and confessed Jill-of-all-trades. Originally from Richmond, Virginia, she is completing her Master of Fine Arts in Filmmaking at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and has a goal of being a film production professor. Having lived over 15+ years in coastal towns (Virginia Beach/ Wilmington, NC) the filmmaker is in awe of the power of people with conservation of natural resources.... and the healing power of sitting on a beach. A fan of creativity, making the world a better place, and whimsy (but not too fond of unicorns) she is currently working on other films, finishing her last grad year, and applying for full-time positions. Her directorial debut is an experimental documentary film based on the Kindred Spirit Mailbox in Sunset Beach, NC (the southernmost beach in North Carolina.) Jenny has worked as an AD & producer for local and commercial shoots, was a producer for broadcast television, has an event planning background, and was an EMT for 4 years. She fell into the cinema/television world while working as a manager of volunteers for a disaster relief nonprofit and thus she is a sucker for human interest and social justice stories. Jenny enjoys random adventures, showing off what Wilmington, NC has to offer to out-of-town guests, and learning all she can about filmmaking. Jenny loves volunteering, rainy days, thrift stores, little free libraries, and gardening…honestly- she's more of a hoot than this all sounds.
