Not Jennifer

Jeniffer Hernandez was born and raised in New York City. As a child, she preferred standing by her dad’s VHS camera at family parties to dancing. Film and television helped her learn about American culture at a young age and from that moment on, she couldn’t get enough. As a teen, she found herself drawn to creating videos at any and every opportunity. Whether the video be for class, an internship, or even her grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary.

​

Her favorite television show, Jane the Virgin, inspired her to formally seek a career in television production. She received an MFA in Television Production from Brooklyn College. 

​

Inspired by stories of Latinx women, female friendship, and family, she wrote and directed two narrative shorts "A Man Cleans a Toilet" and London."

Her documentary ‘Ramon’ was screened at DOC NYC 2019 and CUNY TV.

She is currently in pre-production for her next narrative short, "Text Ya Later."
