Jen Grace - Irish Snowboarder
descenders
Award-winning Director, Producer, Writer

Welcome to the website of snowboarder turned filmmaker, Jen Grace. Jen was the first snowboarder to represent Ireland on the international circuit. She spent five years on the FIS world cup tour and raced in three World Championships. Now in her fourth year of Montana State University's Science and Natural History Filmmaking Master's program, she feels she's found her calling. Like her, this site is under transition....


Soul Dog. Now in Post-Production

Soul Dog promo from Jen Grace on Vimeo.

Dogs roles in America are changing. The more they become like family, the harder it is to treat them like animals. This documentary is about the four-year-long degenerative paralysis of my soul dog, Juno. It also follows my struggle over convictions about dominion and custodianship; life and death. This journey led me into the hearts and home of others coping with similar issues.

My sincere gratitude goes to:
Sara Shier, editor
Roger O'Donnell, composer
And everyone who has allowed me to share their stories


If you would like to contribute funding to the post-production of Soul Dog, please use the contact page to reach me.

07/21/09: Greenscreen interstitials for Jim Henson's Dinosaur Train
I have the honor of being mentored by Halle Stanford, Executive Producer at Jim Henson. This is the Charlie Chaplin studio, where said actor/ director made his most famous movies! Back in the day there was no roof b/c they used (gasp) the sun to light their studio!

This is the set of a green screen interstital for a new show called Dinosaur train. Its so amazing to get a crash course in the t.v industry with so many creative and accomplished people.

The lot is a little paradise that is also the home of the Henson recording studios, a state of the art studio with some VERY accomplished musicians and producers.

I've learned my craft in film school. Here, I am learning the industry. Its an incredible experience.
