Jenny grew up a romantic inside her dad’s art studio near Chicago in a house full of hot-tempered Italians and spent the first half of her life as a singer. With a background in production, she’s organized shoots for the likes of Tarantino and Nolan on four continents to date. She channels those travels and her passionate roots into moody dramas set against evocative backdrops and bygone eras.

Jenny's goal is to match with representation, be staffed in a room, and swap IATSE for the WGA.

Jenny would like to write lit adaptation series in the vein of Outlander or The Handmaid's Tale.
