She received her MFA from the NYU Graduate Film Program at Tisch. Her work includes Radium Girls, Equity, Rehearsal. Magic Hour is her debut film that showcased at The Santa Babara International Film Festival (SBIFF).

Comic adventures and self-discovery ensue. Jacqueline and I talk about the importance of doing a coming of age film around the character Harriet who is already of age, how Jacqueline found a good balance between the comedic & serious tones of the film, what women considering a change in middle life can learn from this film, how the film & characters represent Jacqueline’s experience in the film industry, and more!
