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:

6 x 30 minute scripted comedy series

Huge in the 80’s and 90’s, iconic comedian Steady Eddy is now out of work, money and patience. But when his sex worker alerts him to a lucrative niche, they team up to change his fortunes and fund his big comedy comeback through the world’s oldest occupation. 

From trying to get the NDIS to fund his new sex swing(s), to messing with his meds to satisfy VIP client requests, to recruiting his reluctant sister to become his pimp, Steady Eddy has never been such hot property. But will his meteoric rise in a controversial world lead to the downfall of his comedy? Will he expand his budding empire into a specialist brothel? And most importantly of all, will he ever reach his ultimate goal: to tell Centrelink to go f*** themselves?
