Director Biography - Jenness Rouse

West Texas Native, New York established, and LA Based, Jenness Rouse began her creative career as an opera singer, lyric mezzo, landing her in NYC. In between her Broadway and opera auditions, Jenness landed several commercial, webseries, and film projects, which opened doors for her to move to LA. After a year of working in a production studio, Jenness discovered she had a knack for writing (and creating) comedic content, which launched her production studio, Rising Monarch Prods. With her successes with her first project, Becca on Call, a TV pilot that received over a dozen festival awards internationally for writing, directing, and acting, Jenness continued her creativity with live shows (RMPConcerts, It's Time Benefit, Friendsmas Concert), and experimenting with various web content (including web cams and phone cameras). Shannon O'Brian, ironically, was a product of such an experiment, and has become her alterego in cyberspace.

Director Statement

"There’s a certain freedom 'bee-in' Shannon O’Brian. She is everything I am not and I am so enjoying the fun I’m having ... styling her, and improvising her 'thought process,' literally spouting whatever comes to the top of her 'blonde head' self. I get tickled at myself because it’s me, but it doesn’t feel like it. Too fun."
