Jessica Friedman - Top Tier Personal Rewrite Clinic Follow-Up Meeting

Jessica moved to Los Angeles 17 years ago after the television series ENTOURAGE inspired her to become a development executive. She got her start as an intern and an assistant at various production companies before landing in the UTA mailroom and finding a home in the MP Lit department where she spent 2.5 years. She then went on to work at Columbia Pictures for 4 years. Over that time, she was able to contribute to the development, production and post production process on movies like GHOSTBUSTERS starring Melissa McCarthy and Kristen Wiig, THE SHALLOWS starring Blake Lively, ROUGH NIGHT starring Scarlett Johansson, HOLMES & WATSON starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, and BAD BOYS FOR LIFE starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence.

She is originally from the east coast but is a proud graduate of THE Ohio State University (Go Buckeyes!) and also holds a Master’s degree in Strategic Marketing from the University of Wollongong in Australia which has only proven useful once when she worked in the Franchise Management group at The Disney Channel. For the past 7 years she has been the development executive at Burr! Productions contributing to the company's slate of projects and servicing first look deals with multiple studios over that time. While she was at Burr!, the company made CRUELLA starring Emma Stone, THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT starring Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal, FREAKIER FRIDAY starring Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan reprising their roles, and is currently in pre-production on a live-action TANGLED film for Disney.
