Screen Projects
Like in her live comedy shows, Jenny’s mission on the screen is to combine warm, heart-filled comedy with moments of heart-wrenching rawness - to bring light into the darker places. She is particularly interested in themes of grief and loss, motherhood, mental illness, unconventional families and spotlighting the stories of women and mothers.
She has received development funding from Screen Queensland, was part of AFTRS/Screen Queensland’s Talent Camp, was a Finalist in AACTA/Screenworks’ Regional Landscapes Pitch and won the ABC iView Pitch Perfect Award which sent her to Marseille WebFest for a writing residency. Her development slate includes:
