In addition to writing and directing, Jennifer produced several graduate thesis films including the festival favorite "Unsyncables at Any Age", "Fist of Iron Chef", "Pebbles", as well as the independent short The End Of It All. Jennifer is also proud to have contributed to the A.C.E.-sponsored HD documentary "The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing". Jennifer's romantic comedy screenplay "Honeymoon Adventurers" was selected as a "Screwball Comedy" Finalist in the Broad Humor Screenplay Contest in July 2006 and her feature-length script adaptation of "Searching for Angels" was a quarter-finalist in the 2008 American Zoetrope Screenplay Contest. In November 2008 and again in November 2013, Jennifer won the "NaNoWriMo" writing challenge, writing a 50,000-word novel in the month of November.
