Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times calls Jennifer
Arnold "a deft, rigorous writer and director." Jennifer's first film, Maid
of Honor, was an eight-time award winner which screened in numerous festivals
including Sundance 2000 and SXSW. It aired on HBO/Cinemax in the U.S. and
Channel 4 in England. Jennifer returned to Sundance in 2001 with her acclaimed
Internet series The Mullet Chronicles, a comedic exploration of that infamous
hairstyle "the Mullet," which Sight and Sound magazine describes as "snacky,
chatty segments which whet the appetite and charm the eye." The Mullet Chronicles
was developed into American Mullet by Tom Gorai (Arlington Road) and Dorka Keehn
(New York in the 50s). This feature version enjoyed an art house theatrical release
in 2002 and premiered in 2003 on Trio/USA Networks prior to its video release by
Palm Pictures and Lions Gate Entertainment.
Jennifer's most recent film, Where the Girls Are, a documentary
co-directed by Tricia Cooke and executive produced by Ethan Coen (Fargo, O Brother
Where Art Thou), premiered at Outfest 2003 where it received the Audience Award.
In 2004, Jennifer developed the television series Fresh Produce with Charlie Bohl
(Swimfan) for ESP Productions, Warner Brothers and producer Martin Sheen. She is
currently completing a new script entitled African Hut.
