Owner of New Sky Park Entertainment, Rebel Girl Films & Night Sun Post Jenna Barlow Grodsky (AKA Jennifer Barlow) is an award-winning writer/director/television show creator who produces, develops and edits for various networks including CBS, NBC Sports, A&E, Nat Geo Wild, Tru TV, VH-1, MTV and Fox Reality. Hailing from San Francisco, Grodsky's roots are in dance and theater. By the age of eleven, she had toured internationally with San Francisco Ballet Celeste, guest-starred with the Bolshoi Ballet, and booked her first professional play, Carousel at the Hyatt Theater in Oakland, California. Upon making the leap to Hollywood, Jenna's acting career was mostly rooted in sitcoms and comedy, although she earned praise for her dramatic portrayal of "the other woman" in Garth Brook's award-winning music video, The Thunder Rolls. Grodsky made her debut as a writer with "My Father's Vodka" an interactive multimedia comedy, loosely based on her own bar dancing experiences. My Father's Vodka was presented at the world famous Roxy Theater on Sunset Blvd. by movie/music mogul, Lou Adler (Rocky Horror Picture Show). Jenna also wrote and performed sketch comedy with The Third Floor, Los Angeles and created Phat Chix, an all-girl sketch comedy show, backed by Ed Weinberger (Taxi) and performed at The HBO Showcase Theater. Teaming up with another William Morris client, Barlow Boccaccio Productions was formed and the partners were responsible for creating and launching three successful television shows (Stringers, Sex Decoys and Operation Grizzly) within in two years. Grodsky continues to work both in front of and behind the camera, with thousands of hours of editing under her belt. She just wrapped post production on the soon to be released "Empire Queen" which she produced and edited. As for some trivia, Grodsky is notably the first female to pilot the enterprise on a Star Trek television series. Having survived her late husband, Lee Grodsky, she is also known and often credited as Jennifer Barlow.
