Jen Govey's Film Industry Portal
Welcome

Jen Govey
Hello and welcome to my new look website!

I hope you are able to find what you are looking for. Everything you may need to know about me is contained in the links to the left and I also have a huge collection of resources, advice and links for the film industry which are all collected together and organised in my Film Web Portal.

My Film Portal also includes my advice for Screenwriters, which I started to compile in 1997, while working as an assistant to a Director/Producer. On realising the challenges facing new writing talent, I decided to call it Screenwriters' Friend, as it is has been created to encourage, inspire, guide, motivate and be there when the going gets tough or confusing and warn against the dodgy and the iffy who will try and take advantage, but you will conquer them, of course, with your new found knowledge from a friend!

This information has now grown quite considerably, as my own knowledge and experience continues to expand and it eventually makes it to the page and is shared with you. My website has been providing information and knowledge to the film industry online since it's inception in 2001. In 2007 I upgraded my domain from www.jengo.8m.com to www.jengovey.co.uk Woo hoo!

I am recovering from ME/CFIDS and hope to publish some more information about this in due course. The hope being it inspires people to overcome their difficulties and any obstacles and follow their dreams. I will include my philosophies and ideas on wellbeing and success and the many methods I have used to overcome my own challenges and stay positive and focused on my goals and aspirations.

of the environment in which you first find yourself." - Mark Caine

I am also a Company Director and creative force behind a new high profile enterprise in development with film-maker Rob Craine and entrepreneur Bryant McGill, which is aiming to be launched sometime in 2008. More details on that, when we get closer to launching. It's a project I'm extremely excited and passionate about and has the potential to really make a difference. I can't wait to share it with you!!

Something else I am very excited about is my astrological chart being heavily featured in my dear friend Lisa Tenzin-Dolma's book Teach Yourself Astrology . Published by Hodder, UK and McGraw-Hill, US, it released in Europe on the 30th November 2007 and Worldwide on the 25 January 2008. If you are interested in astrology, this book is a fascinating guide into discovering your own potential and how to maximise on your cosmic resources and self-development. It also goes into depth about my own motivation and why I am so drawn to film-making as a career. Fascinating stuff! Lisa Tenzin-Dolma is an amazing lady who has written some amazing books, so please check out her website www.tenzindolma.co.uk. We have developed some awesome script ideas together, two of which we hope to start writing as soon as I have finished my current workload.

I am currently writing a comedy action movie set in Los Angeles with a very talented new American author and close friend, Lisa Mae Brunson. More about this later! In the meantime, please check out her new website www.lisamae.net, which I also designed.
