Hi, I'm Jorja.
Your whole life has led you to this moment where you've found my page.
Or, I don't know, maybe I sent you a link.
I'm an award-winning comedy writer, director, producer and editor. I've been a storyteller for as long as I can remember, and I can remember very far back. Making people laugh and expressing the complexities of life through film are my reasons for existing. In my writing I like to explore topics such as mental health, break-ups, climate change, gender disparities, the economic and social systems that have made being a millennial *so* chill, and other equally lighthearted themes. I'm based in Los Angeles, CA and am fueled almost exclusively by vegan donuts.
