Jeanne Jo (JEE-nee JOH) is an American filmmaker and visual artist. She is a writer and director of comedy, action, and horror and has worked in both film and television.
As a visual artist, she works in single-channel and multi-channel narrative film, large-scale video installation, and durational performance. Blurring the lines between cinema and performance art, she draws from programmatic languages, media theory, and her personal history to create work that investigates power dynamics, interpersonal relationships, and physical and emotional vulnerability.
Her work has been widely exhibited, including at the Slamdance Film Festival, Scream Queens Film Festival Tokyo (Winner: Audience Award, 2016), and the Southern Utah Museum of Art (solo exhibition, 2022).
She has an MFA from The Rhode Island School of Design and a PhD from the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts.
