ABOUT: WHO I AM
My story started with working alongside someone who truly believed in me. Mentored by Aaron Spelling, one of the most renowned executives and prolific producers in the industry, I learned early how to develop a compelling story and craft a script as strong as possible before it aired. I collaborated with the executive producers, showrunners, and staff of more than 15 primetime shows. I had the unique opportunity to give script notes daily and see them implemented weekly on shows like 90210, Melrose Place, Charmed, Medium, Numbers, NCIS, The 4400, and Girlfriends. As a three-year mentor in the CBS/Diversity Program, a thirteen-year Writing Instructor at NBC, and a panelist for the WGA and DGA, I helped other creative talents understand the industry from an executive’s perspective.
I understand the importance of working with someone who believes in you. Strong mentors, passion, and talent have helped me reach the top of my field. I started Jen Grisanti, Inc. to give back what Aaron and many other business leaders provided me: experience and support to help others achieve their dreams.
My passion for my work shines through in my collaboration with writers. I approach each project with care, experience, and a genuine love for storytelling. In an industry that often prioritizes speed over quality, I am dedicated to respecting both the writer and the story as the script progresses. I offer the personal attention that’s often lacking in our field, serving as your dedicated Personal Executive and guiding you through every stage. So far, the writers I work with have sold 128 pilots and several features, demonstrating the effectiveness of this personalized approach.
