Jenn Harper is a storyteller, first and foremost. Her studies in music and recording bring a creative perspective to her film editing style and technical prowess.
She began her career in voice-over editing, for the video game Sims, at Electronic Arts. She quickly moved from cutting VO to trailers, realizing she enjoyed visual storytelling rather than just staring at waveforms. As a freelance editor in the San Francisco Bay Area, Jenn worked primarily in the commercial world with clients such as Nike, BMW, Apple, Google, T-Mobile, Sony, Hoka, and more.
In 2019, Jenn returned to her SoCal roots to pursue her passion for long-form storytelling full-time. Since arriving in Los Angeles, she has worked between documentary and scripted worlds. Highlights include editing on Slugfest, a series produced by the Russo Brothers about the rivalry between Marvel and DC Comics, and Racist Trees, a feature documentary on racial discrimination through invisible housing rules in Palm Springs. Jenn attended the world premiere of Racist Trees at the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA).
Jenn is most passionate about telling stories that bring hidden accounts of inequality to light. As a singer-songwriter, she uses her music as another medium for storytelling. She also enjoys taking on ambitious knitting projects.
