Biography

Jillian Swanson got her first movie role in the ultra low-budget slasher movie "Killer Campout" at the tender age of 17 years old in her home state of Rhode Island. Over the next few years she made a name for herself in the local New England area doing several low budget horror shorts and feature projects as well as modeling jobs. She still took the time to seek out deeper more dramatic projects by doing student films and some experimental short films, and mainstream work like TV and spec commercials.

However, it was her horror work that caught the eye of cult director Ulli Lommel who cast her in the controversial horror feature "Killer Pickton" for Lion's Gate Films the summer of her 21st birthday. From there she moved to LA and did 3 more back to back features for Ulli Lommel and Lion's Gate.

Now living on the west coast, Jillian wants to expand into more dramatic and deeper roles.

She is a licensed hair and make-up artist, and has worked double duty on some of her early films as both an actress and in the make-up and hair departments.

Though you could not tell from her resume, she is not a huge fan of horror films. She prefers instead deeper dramas, dark thrillers and "depressing movies"
