Reframing our Mindset

Since entering the production field, Jennifer has actively fostered joint partnerships for co-productions, addressed power imbalances, and implemented best practices to streamline fragmented workflows across countries. She has implemented balanced and symmetrical coproductions, ensuring necessary adjustments long before the concept of “equitable co-productions” finally became an industry concern, treating fairness and ethics as standard business practice.

 

As a member of the EAVE Impact Think Tank on Equitable Approaches to Producing, she focuses on promoting inclusive and culturally sensitive practices throughout the production process. She works on realistic implementations that consider the constraints of all parties while respecting local cultures and regulations and relying on local expertise. Partnering from development to presentation is crucial to fostering sustainable international business relationships.

This breadth of experience has endowed her with a deep understanding of the global market and cultivated a robust network.

 

Ever eager to explore new and exciting paths, she collaborates with a diverse array of clients, including markets, production companies, industry labs, training centers, and institutions.

The stories we bring into the world should always embrace a broad scope and a sense of scale,

both in their narrative ambition and the production that brings them to life.
