Jill Bennett
Actor · Born August 14, 1975 (51) · Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA
Jill is an award-winning producer, actor, and writer committed to expanding opportunities for underrepresented filmmakers. Her viral hit "We’re Getting Nowhere," widely credited by the press as “the video blog that started it all” for LGBTQ new media, led to a development deal with Viacom and a series of roles in television and film. Her acting work earned two Audience Choice Awards at Logo’s NewNowNext Awards. She has served on the Screen Actors Guild LGBTQ National Board and has spoken on LGBTQ media issues in more than two dozen cities worldwide, including mainstage appearances at San Francisco Pride, Clexacon Los Angeles, and Munich Pride. Jill later shifted her focus to writing and producing, launching two single-camera comedies with significant festival success: the two-season ensemble series" We Have to Stop Now," winner of three Curve Magazine Awards, and "Second Shot," which won Picture of the Year at London’s LFest. Together, both series screened at over 40 festivals worldwide. Since 2008, Jill has written and produced high-impact video content for Democratic and progressive causes. She most recently served as Creative Director for Volunteer Blue, a coalition of more than 30 national and regional grassroots organizations dedicated to registering voters and electing Democrats nationwide. Her work has generated millions of views across the social platforms of MoveOn, Indivisible, and Voters of Tomorrow. Her 2024 thriller feature, "Under the Influencer," was selected for Queer Screen’s prestigious Goes to Cannes initiative. It received the Panavision Award from the Micheaux Film Festival, Director’s Choice at Palm Springs Cinema Diverse, Best Feature at San Antonio QFest, and Best Feature at the San Francisco Queer Film Festival. She's currently in production on a horror-comedy feature entitled "The Transfer," which takes place on the campus of a fictional HBCU.

Percentiles are each film's standing among all films on MovieCove; the typical film is the median, so one outlier cannot drag it. Percentiles and reviewer scores count the films IMDb credits them on, for now; the Midcredits score bands, the shape of the crowd and the two cards count their MovieCove titles, shows included (a show ranked among shows), appearances as themselves left out. A descriptor is the shape of a title's IMDb rating distribution against the catalog; "most divisive" needs a spread wider than half of all titles, and a card names only a principal credit: a craft role, and on a show a crew role or a run of episodes, never a courtesy credit or a one-off guest spot.
