As an undergrad at Stanford, Jen started writing sketch comedy and directing theatre, the latter leading to projects in Bali, London , and San Francisco . She then made the plunge to celluloid, earning an MFA at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Her short film, <i>Roadside Assistance,</i></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial; mso-ansi-language:EN-US"> played festivals around the world and earned numerous awards including the Student Emmy for Comedy. After graduating she worked as a writers assistant on USA Network’s <i>The Dead Zone</i></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">, then sold her first feature, <i>The Yellow Wood, </i></span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN-US">to Spyglass Entertainment and Stephen J.
