My family moved down to Florida when I was 9 months old, but I was born in
Philadelphia. I started in the film and entertainment industry when I was 5 years old. Back
then it was acting, hey have you ever seen a 5 year old grip? Not good. So I did the whole
acting thing for a while, but over the years I decided it was more fun to be behind the
scenes.

I've been writing for about 16 years. Of course back then it was weird little music videos
and telling all the other kids what to make their dolls say, and now it's screenplays and
dialogue and funny little stories, but still, there's a correlation in there somewhere. I
wrote for a local T.V. show called Comedy Night School for all of season one and part of
season two up until last year.

I like to mess with everything, because, I get bored very easily, so, in addition to writing,
I also draw, sculpt, play classical piano, make patterns for clothes, do a little acting, and
art direct movies and still photography sessions. I've won awards for my writing and my
artwork, nothing big, but satisfying just the same, especially the people's choice awards;
nothing matters as much as the opinion of your audience (most of the time). I don't believe
in censorship, my parents never kept anything from me, and I'm not a crack hooker or a mental
patient, so it must have been kind of okay. I love gargoyles and Stephen King, and my Mom,
Linda, used to read Stephen King and Dean Koontz to me as bedtime stories. If I were to say
I had influences and I wouldn't, but if I did, they would be Tim Burton, Jim Henson, and Stephen
King (in that order), because those are THE guys, if you catch my drift.

When I went to college about 6 years ago I wound up in theatre and then film quickly there after. At the theatre
I painted sets, worked my butt off as the scenic charge, and did a little design work. When I moved into film
I quickly transitioned to the role of Art Director. I worked as the Art Director and Production Designer on a
string of films, including pick up days on 'Deadly Species' (now available at Blockbuster), and a number of other independent features, including Da' Bros (as B-Unit Art Director).

Aside from that, I'm a Cancer, I have 3 dogs, I love the ocean, my boyfriend Alex, my family and my friends,
and I love to cook. I'm short too, but I don't have a Napoleonic complex or anything. My favorite colors are
purple and green. I love things that are unique. I go insane without music. Oh, and I also read palms and
juggle. Thusly giving you more information than you will ever want, about me, Jenny Coyle.
