Jordan Trippeer

Jordan Trippeer is a produced writer whose eclectic mind, adventurous childhood and preference for The X-Files over Sesame Street while growing up set the course for her creative future. Raised by a nomadic family, Jordan's life has been one endless adventure. She's luged into volcano calderas in New Zealand, pulled dinosaur vertebrae and gold nuggets from the Earth of the American southwest, and cradled cobras in Morocco. At some point while unwittingly retracing Columbus's route to the Americas, she fell in love with film, television, and the written word and realized that she wanted to be a screenwriter. She's developed a daring writing style that contrasts and complements her demure persona. While genre agnostic, her idiosyncratic upbringing and singular personality naturally skew her writing toward adventure, magical realism, sci-fi, psychological thrillers, and true stories that lift the spirit. Her work has been lauded for its "fascinating, flawed characters, immersive world building and mischievous originality." Since arriving in Los Angeles, Jordan's early successes have included two projects for Academy-Award-nominated actor and producer James Franco, The Labyrinth, an experimental anthology of strange fiction stories that premiered at ScreamFest, and Don Quixote, a lighthearted adventure starring Carmen Argenziano and Horatio Sanz, about Spain's most enduring legendary figure, that premiered at the Palm Springs Film Festival. Both are now available on Amazon and Netflix. Her short pilot, Black Night, the story of super-powered teenagers escaping from government captivity, is also streaming on Amazon and thescene.com. Most recently, her narrative documentary Painting Anna, screened to rave reviews at the Seattle Transmedia & Independent Film Festival and was released on Amazon. To date, Jordan's tremendous writing talents have been recognized by prominent competitions and writing programs, including Screencraft, American Zoetrope, and Stage 32. She has earned spots in Project Her, the highly regarded female filmmaker incubator sponsored by Conde Nast and Indigenous Media where she was mentored by Lesli Linka Glatter (Homeland, Gilmore Girls), as well as the DMG Entertainment Screenwriting Fellowship and the Industry Insider Competition with Ed Saxon. She has also been a finalist for the Universal Screenwriters Program and the Academy Nicholl Fellowship. Jordan holds a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from the University of Richmond, and a Master of Fine Arts in Writing for Screen & Television from USC.
