Jenny Coyle(I)
- Actress
- Writer
- Director
Jenny's family moved down to Florida when she was 9 months old, but she
was born in Philadelphia. She started in the film and entertainment
industry when she was 5 years old. She did the acting thing for a
while, but over the years decided it was more fun to be behind the
scenes.
She says she's always been writing one thing or another. When she was younger she made music videos to her favorite songs and told all the other kids what to make their dolls say. Now she funnels that energy into writing screenplays and dialog and funny stories. She wrote for two seasons of a TV show called 'Comedy Night School and still acts as a sounding board and sometimes as a performer for some of the shows skits.
Jenny is easily bored, so she likes to dabble in a little bit of everything. In addition to writing, she also draws, sculpts, plays classical piano, makes patterns for clothing, does a little acting, and sometimes art directs movies and still photography sessions.
She's won awards for her writing and her artwork, nothing big, but she says she was thrilled just the same, especially with the peoples choice awards. "Nothing matters as much as the opinion of your audience..... most of the time", Jenny says.
She doesn't believe in censorship. She grew up watching anything she wanted. She also grew listening to her mother reading Stephen King novels as bedtime stories.
While in college Jenny was a scenic charge at the college theatre, and was allowed to do a little design work for some of the shows. After theatre, she quickly transitioned to the role of art director in the film program at the same college. She worked as art director on a string of films, including pick up days on 'Deadly Species', and a number of other independent features, including 'Da Bros' (as b-unit art director).
Aside from that she has two dogs, she's obsessed with the ocean, and loves things that are unique. She swears that she does not have a Napoleonic complex, but that remains to be seen, as her feature film directing debut approaches.
