Jenny Lester

My first feature film - What She Said - is available wherever you can rent movies. I have worked since as a script doctor and screenwriter - helping to develop and shape other writer's scripts and providing notes and rewrites on the projects I've directed. I have 2 pilots I've created ready to shoot! A recent client says: "She is unique in that she has both a keen understanding of structure and character while also getting into the weeds of dialogue and action. It is rare to work with someone who understands the big and small picture of a screenplay, and Jenny instantly “gets” anything she reads. Unlike a lot of other coaches out there, Jenny never tries to impose herself, but is excellent at suggesting changes that will help the actor or writer bring out their own voice even more. She is my go-to for feedback and I couldn’t recommend her enough!"

First feature film - Our Bodies & Other Shames coming soon! --> https://deadline.com/2024/11/micaela-diamond-jenny-lester-film-global-briefs-1236181024/ I have also directed shorts, a musical pilot, shorts, a masterclass series, and more. I love working on independent projects.

Between entertainment gigs, I have worked in a number of restaurants in which I have honed my skill set when it comes to customer service, problem solving, multitasking, and being a team player.

I worked as the managing director for Full Armor Films, a full service boutique production company - helping to setting up both their New York and New Orleans offices. I worked to create a seamless online presence, website, and internal company flow system.

As a personal and executive to a busy playwright, I worked bi-coastally for almost two years. I am used to working on a high-volume desk, going with the flow as things change constantly, fixing problems before they arising, and a maintaining a "no-task-too-small" attitude at all times.
