Jenny Carson is an emerging working-class lesbian writer-director based in Scotland making films that challenge and inspire social change around themes of gender, sex and sexuality.
“This is the advert I want my children to see. It shows how to live in the 21st century,” wrote The Times of her work for Gillette on men’s mental health in 2019, and her directorial work on anti-racism in education was nominated for a Shiny award in 2021.
She worked as an established Producer for premium brands such as Nike, Prada, and Bentley as well as iconic publishers VICE, WIRED and British GQ. Her debut feature screenplay The Matriarchy was heralded by BAFTA as “compelling and thought-provoking” and described by The Black List as “blisteringly original, blindingly funny, subversive and smart.”
