"I loved working at harvestworks. I always get comments on the great soundtrack" - Jennifer Reeves
THE TIME WE KILLED (2004, b&w 16mm, 94 minutes)

Jenn Reeves (born Colombo, Ceylon) is a NY-based filmmaker. Her work has shown internationally, from the Berlin, New York, Rotterdam, and Sundance Film festivals to the Whitney Museum, the Seoul Gay and Lesbian Film Festival and Centenary College. Her debut experimental-narrative feature The Time We Killed, premiered at the Berlin Film Festival 2004 in the Forum section and was awarded a FIPRESCI prize. At the Tribeca Film Festival the film won Best NY, NY Narrative Feature (receiving an original painting by Christopher Walken) and at Outfest the film won the Outstanding Artistic Achievement Award. Jennifer was nominated for the 2005 IFP Someone to Watch Award.

Reeves' films incorporate optical-printing and direct-on-film techniques and explore a range of topics including: mental health and recovery, women's sexuality, poetry, free-association, dogs and the infamous Bush crime family.

In 2003 Reeves began doing live multiple-projection film/music performances as an extension to her work as a "single-strand" filmmaker. Reeves performed her double-projection short He Walked Away at the Toronto International Film Festival (Wavelenghts) with musicians Erik Hoversten and Dave Cerf, and presented film performances with musicians Skúli Sverrisson and Hilmar Jensson at Tonic in NYC and at the City Theater in Reykjavik. Reeves performed her full-length double-16mm When it was Blue at MoMA in New York this past January with live original music by Skúli Sverrisson with Anthony Burr and Ted Reichman. Reeves recently received support from the Wexner Center in Columbus to edit When it was Blue and the project just received a finishing funds grant from the Experimental Television Center.

In 2004, Reeves founded the production company Sparky Pictures, Inc. She has an MFA from University of CA, San Diego and works part-time as a Visiting Professor of Film at Bard College and Cooper Union.
