Jennifer Roth

Producer

As a serious young woman Jennifer Roth aspired to do one thing; create peace in the Middle East. This turned out to be very difficult, but fortunately she had a fallback plan as she lived in New York and loved film. Thanks to a handful of contacts and a lot of cold calling, she successfully pivoted from peacemaker to production assistant. Roth quickly became a production coordinator. Her early credits include Bad Lieutenant (the original), Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man and The Crow (tragically she was on set that night and but no, Brandon Lee wasn't murdered). Working from the ground up, she ascended through the ranks to producing. At the advice of no one, a pregnant Roth and her husband moved from New York to Seattle in 2000. This move could easily have been career suicide, but fortunately Roth found a wonderful, intimate community of artists and filmmakers (most notably Lynn Shelton) and has been very proud to call Seattle home ever since. In 2013 Roth made another risky career decision when she accepted a 3-year teaching position at NYU Abu Dhabi. Though not as professionally satisfying, the move was personally transformative. Roth refers to this stint as the best mid-life crisis ever. She has been honored on several occasions, most notably when the French Government made her a Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters for her contribution to French cinema. Roth may have found her calling in film, but she's still open to the idea of world peace.

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.
