Jennifer Elster

Jennifer Elster is an only child who was born and raised in New York City. Elster is a film writer, director, producer, performer and an executive at The Development Productions. Elster's upcoming film series is entitled ...In the Woods (and Elsewhere). The series is a mysterious, existential journey: a walk into the unknown. The cast, including Terrence Howard, Dave Matthews, Aimee Mullins, Will Shortz and many others, signed on to the project without knowing what was to happen. Yoko Ono performed wild, original vocalizations for the film series' score. Drawn to exploring the unknown, a risk taker and boundary pusher by nature, Elster's work illustrates the unruly excursions into the recesses of the mind. This tendency towards illuminating the mysteries of the internal world is exemplified in Elster's ...In the Woods (and Elsewhere), in which she plays with and pushes the parameters of filmmaking itself. The film series is genre-breaking and non-formulaic in its composition- an unusual collection of disparate moments woven together to create unified and emotionally charged narratives while various plots unfold.
