Jill Bennett

Jill is an award-winning producer, actor, and writer committed to expanding opportunities for underrepresented filmmakers.

Her viral hit "We’re Getting Nowhere," widely credited by the press as “the video blog that started it all” for LGBTQ new media, led to a development deal with Viacom and a series of roles in television and film. Her acting work earned two Audience Choice Awards at Logo’s NewNowNext Awards. She has served on the Screen Actors Guild LGBTQ National Board and has spoken on LGBTQ media issues in more than two dozen cities worldwide, including mainstage appearances at San Francisco Pride, Clexacon Los Angeles, and Munich Pride.

Jill later shifted her focus to writing and producing, launching two single-camera comedies with significant festival success: the two-season ensemble series" We Have to Stop Now," winner of three Curve Magazine Awards, and "Second Shot," which won Picture of the Year at London’s LFest. Together, both series screened at over 40 festivals worldwide.
