Jen Prince and Veronica Mars

Independent filmmaker Jen Prince joins Mark and Joe to discuss one of her favorite shows, Veronica Mars. As an indie filmmaker, Jen has had to wear a lot of different hats, including producer and director. She did acting in her undergrad, but soon discovered a talent for producing theatre. She then went to USC for film school, where she did a graduate degree. She’s worked in television, including reality TV shows such as The Amazing Race. Eventually, she landed on producing indie movies and teaching when she’s not making films. Jen picked Veronica Mars because of the strong female character. It’s also a coming of age story, which Jen loves. She loved the cinematography. She loved the fact that it was a noir set in a high school and that it was coming of age story. She loved the acting, particularly Kristen Bell’s, who came of age as an actor during the show. If you haven’t watched Veronica Mars before hearing Jen, you’ll want to after!
