ABOUT JO
Jo’s love of film started as a teenager with her Media studies teacher lending her a copy of Alain Resnais' iconic Night and Fog, it was unlike anything I'd ever watched - it made me realise the power of film, how it can touch and affect audiences and so my love of film was born...
Since 2008 she’s been working in the film industry in various roles - she has experience across a variety of cinema and film marketing disciplines; having worked with organisations including; Altitude Film Entertainment, BFI, BIFA,Cosmic Cat Films, Curzon Artificial Eye, Curzon Cinemas, Dartmouth Films, Nova Cinema, Met Films, Reclaim The Frame, The Rex Cinema and StudioCanal.
Her expertise covers film marketing & distribution - specifically with a focus on strategy and campaign management, outreach marketing consultancy and audience development projects.
She also teaches on courses at the National Film and Television School, Royal Holloway (University of London) and Film London.
