Biography

Jill is an award-winning producer, actor, and writer committed to expanding opportunities for underrepresented filmmakers. Her viral hit "We’re Getting Nowhere," widely credited by the press as “the video blog that started it all” for LGBTQ new media, led to a development deal with Viacom and a series of roles in television and film. Her acting work earned two Audience Choice Awards at Logo’s NewNowNext Awards. She has served on the Screen Actors Guild LGBTQ National Board and has spoken on LGBTQ media issues in more than two dozen cities worldwide, including mainstage appearances at San Francisco Pride, Clexacon Los Angeles, and Munich Pride. Jill later shifted her focus to writing and producing, launching two single-camera comedies with significant festival success: the two-season ensemble series" We Have to Stop Now," winner of three Curve Magazine Awards, and "Second Shot," which won Picture of the Year at London’s LFest. Together, both series screened at over 40 festivals worldwide. Since 2008, Jill has written and produced high-impact video content for Democratic and progressive causes. She most recently served as Creative Director for Volunteer Blue, a coalition of more than 30 national and regional grassroots organizations dedicated to registering voters and electing Democrats nationwide. Her work has generated millions of views across the social platforms of MoveOn, Indivisible, and Voters of Tomorrow. Her 2024 thriller feature, "Under the Influencer," was selected for Queer Screen’s prestigious Goes to Cannes initiative. It received the Panavision Award from the Micheaux Film Festival, Director’s Choice at Palm Springs Cinema Diverse, Best Feature at San Antonio QFest, and Best Feature at the San Francisco Queer Film Festival. She's currently in production on a horror-comedy feature entitled "The Transfer," which takes place on the campus of a fictional HBCU.

Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World
7.0

Rick & Steve: The Happiest Gay Couple in All the World is an American-Canadian stop motion animated sitcom created by Q. Allan Brocka, who also acts as director. It is a spin off from Brocka's 1999 short film of the same name, and debuted on the LGBT focused Logo network in July 2007 and on the Canadian Teletoon's late-night programming block "The Detour" that October. The show premiered in the UK on E4 on 17 September 2008 and in January 2010 on Virgin 17 in France. After the first season aired, Logo renewed the program for a second season, which debuted on November 11, 2008. The animation of the original Rick & Steve shorts were done using Lego blocks and figures, prompting a lawsuit from the company. Though the series no longer uses Lego blocks, it still draws comparison to both them and those by Playmobil. It is produced by Toronto-based production studio, Cuppa Coffee Studio. Currently, there are no further plans for a third season of Rick & Steve.
