Crew

• Director: Jenni Tooley | bio

  Ms Tooley spent her first 10 years in the industry as a cute blond award-winning stage and film actress (Bottle Rocket, Arlington Road, Dallas Observer Best Actress Award…). After becoming frustrated with the lack of fulfilling roles and fully realized projects, Ms. Tooley broke off from her acting career and became a yoga teacher. During this time she wrote a number of short stories (published) and feature films. The need to see her features’ artistic vision realized drove her to directing. Her lack of experience as a director drove her to producing. Her lack of finishing funds drove her to editing. And the power of self-creating brought her back to the industry on her own terms as an actor, filmmaker, and advocator of efficiently run productions that treat all involved with the respect and care that they deserve. Producer and production manager credits include: short films, stage plays, site-specific traveling performance events, and feature film Montclair. “The Safety of Others” marks her directorial/authorial debut. Jenni lives in Weehawken, NJ with her husband, two dogs and 4 cats--2 of which she rescued as tiny kittens and raised by hand. She watches each day at the end of winter for the first signs of life in her spring garden, has learned to grow vegetables out of containers, and tries to attract whatever wildlife she can-- above and beyond sparrows and the famed rock doves- to her postage stamp backyard. Jenni teaches hatha and prenatal yoga and has had the honor of assisting in the labor and delivery of two beautiful baby boys.
