After graduating from NYU's film school, Jennifer B. Katz was shockingly not offered any deals to direct her own movies, but her love for long titles led to the production of her comedy feature film, 101 Ways To Get F&*ked Without Having Sex (the things a girl will do to keep her Volvo). It was shortened at Volvo's insistence to 101 Ways (the things a girl will do to keep her Volvo), and distributed on Showtime.
Jennifer’s Web & TV series include "Health Soup," a funny and inside look at wellness; "Stacked Up," where authors show off favorite books from their shelves; and the sometimes scatological "Flush TV," on the oft-maligned world of plumbing. Her writing has appeared on The Mid. She lives in Brooklyn, with her handsome partner, 5-year-old daughter, cuddly but mental dog, and 20-year-old Volvo.
