Currently, Jennifer is in production as Executive Producer and Director on the current "Angels Among Us" film series which is an 11 part series of documentaries about various missions, charities and urban ministries in the greater Los Angeles area. This multi-faceted project is designed primarily to inform the people of Los Angeles about the amazing and interesting work being done for the forgotten segments of our society. Each 24 minute film will be used to raise funds, heighten community awareness and enlist participation from the viewers. Based on the idea that many Los Angelenos have a heart and desire to help in their own community but don’t know where to get started or how to “plug in”, this film series serves as a vehicle to educate and inspire everyone to deeper involvement and compassion in their own community In July of 2007, Jennifer served as Executive Producer and Director of the Stephens College Summer Film Institute on campus in Columbia, MO. The SFI is designed to integrate students of high school and college levels into the entire working process of the film industry through lectures, seminars and hands-on experience in the production of a completed short film. Working with top level professionals from the Hollywood community students were able to serve as crew and learn about each vital department to get a very realistic experience in the whole filmmaking process. Jennifer often speaks as a guest lecturer to film schools and student organizations nationwide. Her enthusiastically received talks offer a humorous and insightful perspective to all aspects of filmmaking titled "Secrets to Surviving Success in Hollywood."
