Jen was once a shy (and oddly sweaty) preteen, who finally found freedom and confidence through theatre, film studies, and the transformative magic of storytelling. She majored in Professional Writing in college and got a 4.0 GPA (which literally no one asks about, ever). She's won non-fiction writing contests, had plays and monologues produced, and had multiple articles published. Her first feature-length screenplay, End of Scene, has been placing well in festivals! This makes Jen's mom very proud.
Jen's passion is to use the medium of movies to bridge the communication gap in our relationships with others, and (especially) in our relationship with our individual selves.
