about

Jenna Larson is a writer/director based in Los Angeles. Her upbringing in conservative Christian school in the Midwest and her subsequent rebellion against it has greatly informed the queer, sober, sex positive artist that she is today. Jenna graduated from the film & television program at Columbia College Chicago in December 2017. Her short films and web series that she’s written and directed have a combined 105 million+ views on her YouTube channel that has over 512,000 subscribers to date. 

Her short film she wrote and directed, Prom Night, was an Official Selection at Reeling: Chicago LGBT Film Festival and Cinema Diverse: Palm Springs LGBT Film Festival. In 2019, Jenna co-wrote and directed Hot Summer Daze, a sex-positive queer dramedy series executive produced by Erika Lust Cinema. The series has over 5.5 million views to date on its first eight episode season and was nominated for Best Drama Series at Sydney Webfest, Best LGBT Series at London Short Series Festival, and actress Kali Skatchke was nominated for Best Drama Actress for Hot Summer Daze at Rio Webfest. Jenna is passionate about creating sex positive content for women and has also had short films funded by Adam & Eve Sex Toys and Bellesa. She also works as an intimacy coordinator for film & TV. 

Jenna is an active member of Women in Film, the Alliance of Women Directors, Film Independent, New Filmmakers LA, and Ryan Reynold’s Group Effort Initiative. After years of working on set in the Assistant Director department in Los Angeles on major productions such as Marvel’s Shang Chi, King Richard, and HBO’s Euphoria and Our Flag Means Death, Jenna is now shifting towards narrowing her focus solely onto screenwriting. She continues to write & direct for her YouTube channel, and in 2022 she begun releasing episodes of Girlfriends: A Lesbian Anthology Series of short films chronicling different aspects of lesbian relationships. She also recently “came out” as a stripper online for the first time after dancing for over 6 years to fund her short film projects, which was arguably scarier than coming out as gay. Over the past year Jenna has worked in mini writers rooms for Invisible Narratives, done copywriting for social media marketing, and taken many script coverage gigs.
