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

A year ago, The Smithsonian Institution commissioned me to make a short video for exhibit at the National Zoo in DC. The topic; a kids video on amphibian declines and environmental contaminants. Whew! Heavy Duty.

Somehow my fabulous crew and I turned what could be a very depressing topic into a fun and informative movie.

I've entered it in some really big festivals including AFI, SXSW, Aspen Shortsfest, Silverdocs, Telluride Mountain film and others. Lets hope for the best!
