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.
Withdrawals is a dark comedy short film about four friends who decide to quit their antidepressants together and all experience very different side effects.

Low Budget Sketch Show is a comedy web series containing sketches about the hardships of life. Created by a collection of writers and performers from The Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, the show was built on a DIY attitude and zero kickstarters.

Check out the show here. (Creator, Co-Writer, Director, Co-Editor) |
I co-founded Jomey Productions alongside comedy writer Ethan David where we currently have several projects in development. Our half-hour comedy pilot script Millennial Divorce Club was a finalist at Catalyst Content Festival in 2019. Check out our website here.
