What Will You Learn?
Writing isn’t JUST about story structure. Filmmaking isn’t JUST about visuals. It’s therapeutic. It’s taking a narrative into your own hands. It’s empowerment. Therapy is where you go to work through your wounds. Here we take that wound and turn it into a story- from concept to world premiere!
How it works?
Therapeutic Mentorship: Whether you’re at the start or in the thick of your career, many creatives are sensitive and clouded by self-doubt. I’m here to support your process emotionally and physically Step-by-Step. I have the answers to your industry questions, and I will help you ride the ups and downs of your creative endeavors.
Script to Screen: You will get your short script production-ready with guidance on directing, producing, and managing your team.
Script Coverage: You will receive expert feedback on your story and character, angled to combat tropes previously reserved for women, BIPOC, and LGBTQ+ characters - for writers of all skill levels.

A Little Bit About Me:
Jenny’s industry experience began with an apprenticeship under Roman Coppola at The Directors Bureau / American Zoetrope where she selected and pitched the pilot for MOZART IN THE JUNGLE, which ran for 4 seasons on Amazon. This would later inspire a move from commercial directing and producing to narrative filmmaking. Her former clients include Adidas, BMW, New York Fashion Week, SEE Eyewear (national TV & web campaign). Her music video and fashion work has been featured by NYLON, Topshop, and PopSugar.
Jenny’s narrative work finds the fun and funny in trauma, united in thematic explorations of changing families, sex, and the taboo. Her expertise lies at the weird, genre-bending intersection of dark comedy, thriller, and horror. Born in NYC and raised in South Carolina, Jenny is a mod podge of dueling American cultures- in fact, her great aunt even invented Mod Podge, the crafting glue. A 7th-generation Charlestonian Jew, her family's tomato-based matzo ball soup recipe is included in numerous regional cookbooks. A mean parallel parker, she currently resides in Greenwich Village with her border collie-mix.

Reviews:
"Jenny’s feedback got right to the heart of the issues, somehow immediately knowing the elements I hadn’t quite figured out yet. Her notes are collaborative, like it’s an exciting puzzle to figure out together!" Alice R. - Director of Creative Development, Wired
"She gives direct, sensitive feedback that makes you feel motivated to dive back into your script. Her direction is so on point, I don't want to send out a script without her laying eyes on it first." Dorothy N. - TV Winner of the 2022 ScreenCraft Drama Competition
