About Jenny

Originally from Washington, DC, I graduated from USC’s School of Cinematic Arts with a MFA in Film Production where I won a coveted directing scholarship. My latest short film, the award-winning ACID TEST, spent the last 2 years in festivals including BendFilm, Austin Film Festival, Snowdance, Houston Latino Film Festival, and was selected for the Women in Film and Television International (WIFTI) Shortcase and Austin Film Society Shortcase at SXSW. Other recent shorts include writing/directing SISTERS (2016 WIFTI Shortcase) and producing MEGGAN’S JOURNEY (2017 Boomtown Festival) and NEXT EXIT (2017 Maryland Film Festival). Past credits include producing on the feature THE PREACHER’S DAUGHTER (2013) and the feature documentary THE CUTTING EDGE: THE MAGIC OF MOVIE EDITING (2004). A former Program Coordinator for Houston’s Southwest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP), a non-profit organization dedicated to emerging filmmakers, I now teach scripted and documentary production at Houston Community College’s Filmmaking Program. The feature adaptation of ACID TEST is now in post-production and a feature based on a woman’s fight against City Hall in Baytown in the 1990’s, and a dystopian television series are in development.
