Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Jenica Bergere is a Los Angeles-based flailing mother of three and an award-winning filmmaker. Working in the industry for over 25 years as a comedic actress, Bergere has appeared as a memorable character in over twenty feature films, and as a series regular on numerous shows across several networks such as ABC NBC CBS FOX, and Showtime. During her prolific career, Bergere has written and sold shows, developed and produced content, and honed her creative eye to encompass all areas of filmmaking. Over the past several years, Bergere has fostered her growing passion for storytelling as a director of feature films. Drawing from a well of personal experience coming from a family of porn stars hookers and thieves, Bergere wrote, directed, and starred in her debut micro-budget film Come Simi. Shot in 10 days and with a cash outlay of only $10,000, Come Simi garnered several festival awards, including Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Feature, and received worldwide distribution via The Orchard. Bergere's second directorial endeavor was the award-winning Spare Room, a visually unique and beautiful tale with both stunning breakout and seasoned performances written by a woman from Chicago who sought Bergere out to tell her story. Their collaboration was featured in Forbes magazine and Bergere was also cited as one of the top five female filmmakers making the festival rounds in 2019. Bergere's ability to coax authentic emotion and performances from her cast combined with her decisiveness on set are what enable her to accomplish so much with relatively little time and money during filming. Spare Room is distributed worldwide through Gravitas Ventures.

Bergere lives in Culver City with her three daughters, a professional chef husband, and two rescue dogs with bad breath.
