For our Christmas hiatus, we'll be rebroadcasting some of our most popular Over Coffee® episodes from 2015.

Kindness and magic aren't necessarily the main elements of Hollywood.

But on filmmaker Jenn Page's sets, they're essentials.

Jenn is a professional actor and director who founded Luminave Films in 2012.   Her goal was to produce films for women to star in, direct, produce--and even work on as crew members, if technical positions are their area of interest.   Luminave's mission is to create positive sets where everyone's welcome to be creative, as projects get completed on time and films that are produced by, for, and/or show women in a positive light.

Jenn 's work has won multiple audience awards at festivals, and two of her short films have sold for distribution, so far.  Currently, she's directing the talk series Wake Up, and in April, she directed and produced the IAWTV Awards at the New Media Expo, in Las Vegas.  (She also hosted a great panel on "Women in New Media"!)

Jenn talked about her background, the experiences that served as a catalyst for her creation of Luminave Films, and her plans for the future.
