ABOUT JENN 

 

Before the viewer sees the film or the first model puts her foot onto the stage, a myriad of tasks and a mountain of preparation and planning takes place.  Locations have been scouted, actors and models have been cast, costumes and wardrobe chosen and prepared, scripts written and vetted and everyone and everything has to wind up in one place, or maybe many places.  Behind the scenes is the producer. Enter Jenn Mason.

 

Jenn Mason is an award winning producer with 14 years of hands-on experience in both the corporate and not-for-profit worlds.  She has produced a wide range of multi-media projects that includes fashion shows, documentaries, short films, video-style installations, and even theatrical performances.

 

The venue or location might be Ghana, Etobicoke, Los Angeles, Montreal, Toronto or Vegas – Jenn Mason has worked in every one, making sure that every project is a resounding success.

 

She began her career at MAC Cosmetics where she managed the International Retail and Special Events Department, working side by side with one of the world’s leading creative teams to execute and conceptualize events all over the world.
