Hello fellow creatives! My name is Jenna and I wanted to introduce myself and say Aloha! I live on the north shore of Oahu where the beaches are beautiful in the summer, and ferocious in the winter. I have loved writing as long as I can remember and recently started my own production company, Higher Ground Productions. I hope to uplift and elevate people through documentary filmmaking. I have started preproduction for my first documentary about our canoe club, and outrigger canoe paddling in Hawaii. Can’t wait to network with other passionate people hoping to make positive change through the art of visual storytelling.

Aloha Jenna. Sounds wonderful, both in location, visually, and in honorable objectives. Congratulations! I have a doc coming out shortly as well and was a line producer on '"The Comedy Store" on Showtime - a five part documentary on the fame Comedy Store.

Hi, Jenna. I live in Wahiawa, so not far from you. I also started my own production company, Sozopo Entertainment, LLC. Sozopo is a combination of a Japanese word and a Hawaiian word. I am more into narrative filmmaking. I am a writer-director-producer who also edits on Final Cut Pro when necessary.
I am a member of the Hawaii Filmmakers Collective and was part of its inaugural Producers Lab. Perhaps you might want to join.
I have written 12 feature scripts and 12 short scripts so far. Unfortunately, I wrote my feature scripts on Movie Magic Screenwriter 2000 (32 bit), and I couldn't access them after I upgraded my iOS to Catalina and then to Big Sur, which are 64-bit. Since then, I switched to Final Draft. I am waiting for Screenwriter 6.7 to be released, so I can transfer my files to Final Draft.
I directed and produced three shorts in 2017, dropped out for a while and then did one more short on Zoom in 2020. Once I get fully vaccinated, I plan to resume live production. Since I am the full-time caregiver for my father, I have to be very careful.
I am in the process of writing a micro-budget feature script.
