International Brand Manager
Jennifer Whitney is the Public Relations Director and Film Festival Strategist for Motivate Pictures, bringing three decades of business, relationship building and strategic communication experience to independent film.
Before joining Motivate Pictures, Jennifer built a 30-year career developing client relationships and growing business across financial services and technology. Her connection to the film community also includes work with the Austin Film Festival, where she led large-scale annual fundraising events supporting the organization.
Today, Jennifer focuses on building visibility for Maurice Moore, Finding Solace and Motivate Pictures through film festival strategy and collaboration, publicity, media and community outreach, audience engagement and relationship building. She brings a unique perspective to the festival circuit: approaching festivals not simply as places to screen a film, but as opportunities to build meaningful relationships, create visibility and open doors for what comes next.
