Jina Panebianco

Producer · Born December 24, 1972 (53) · New Jersey, USA

Jina Panebianco was born and raised on the East Coast in New Jersey. She moved to LA with a dream and passion for telling stories that would move the masses whether by laughter (mostly) or extremely thought provoking heartfelt tales. She raised 500k for her first feature in 2004 and has not stopped since. Her producing credits range from Features to TV Movies, Reality shows and documentaries. In 2016 she Co-Founded Passionflix, an OTT streaming service which turns romance novels into movies and series. As President & COO she produced all movies, and series until her exit in late 2018, when she felt compelled to get back to her roots of storytelling in the form of romantic comedies, thought provoking stories and entertaining a broader audience. In 2019 Jina formed CaliWood Pictures, with her longtime friend and business partner R. Wesley Sierk, III; investors Michael J. Reiser and John D. Straley. CaliWood's first film out of the gate, A Nice Girl Like You, is a hilarious and edgy rom-com, starring Lucy Hale, based on the best selling book Porn-o-logy, by Ayn Carrillo-Gailey and releases July 17, 2020. Jina is in production on their second feature, Shriver, an offbeat comedy based on a best selling book of the same name, by Chris Belden, starring Michael Shannon and Kate Hudson. She served as executive producer on LANSKY, a bio-pic co-production based on the incredible life of Meyer Lansky, starring Harvey Keitel and Sam Worthington (late 2020 release). CaliWood is in negotiations to acquire the rights to the magazine column Sex Y LA to be adapted as a multicultural Sex and the City-like series. Jina resides in Marina Del Rey with her beautiful 2 1/2 year old son Jack and adorable pup Harry Bear.

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.
