Jennifer Howard Kessler grew up in the Entertainment Industry, surrounded by talented Filmmakers such as George Lucas, Gary Kurtz, Francis Ford Coppola, and Richard Donner. This upbringing, spent traveling around Los Angeles, San Francisco and London, inspired her to make her future path in Film. Later, as a career woman, she was mentored by Robert Evans and Daniel Melnick. She began working with Robert Evans in 1991 as an assistant, organizer of events and screenings, and now as a Producer of film and TV at Paramount Studios, where The Robert Evans Company maintains a first-look and overhead deal.
She took a creative hiatus to pursue her love of photography and studied with Helmut Newton while also being one of his subjects in many of his photos, one of which hangs in his museum in Germany. She has worked on a number of productions as a film stills photographer.
To add to her many career accomplishments, she enjoyed many volunteer and charitable opportunities, finding fulfillment in giving her time to children in need as well as organizations such as Hollygrove/EMQ Families First and the Maple Counseling Center's Community Circle.
Jennifer currently has several projects in development, including a film about Robert Evans' life story with Academy Award-nominated Director David O. Russell. She is also co-producing and co-directing a documentary and TV series on hormone health, entitled BALANCE. She is always looking for new cross-platform symbiotic projects that inspire her.
Jennifer Howard Kessler is married to Henri Kessler and they reside in New York City/Los Angeles with their son Dylan and Labrador dog Sunshine.
