She has three films recently released on DVD: X’s and O’s, “Shattered” and “Out at the Wedding.” Other recent films include “Expiration Date” and “The Pleasure Drivers.” After a sell-out premier at San Francisco’s Frameline Film Festival in June, her newest feature “And Then Came Lola” is sweeping into every LGBT film festival of note.
Jill’s most recent project, We Have To Stop Now is a romantic comedy in which she plays a therapist who is in therapy herself. After a successful first season, season two is now in development with a world wide distribution deal in place with Wolfe Releasing.
Jill co-created the first hit lesbian video blog “We’re Getting Nowhere” for AfterEllen.com, which was nominated as Best Lesbian Vlog Ever for Logo’s NewNowNext Awards. She went solo in late 2008 and is now producing her own video blog “The Violet Underground” for SheWired.com.
Current Press Opportunities
(Suitable for arts & entertainment press, women’s interest, LGBT press)
Jill Bennett plays the role of “Casey” in And Then Came Lola, a sexy, lesbian romp, inspired by the art house classic “Run, Lola, Run” and the subject of controversy when Facebook mysteriously rejected an advertisement for the film that featured photo depicts the three lead actresses in what coproducer Ellen Seidler calls the “sandwich shot,” a sexy but by no means gratuitous shot of three women holding each other.
Jill is featured as a lead character in the new lesbian web series We Have To Stop Now that follows two lesbian therapists lives as they struggle to keep up the pretense of staying together when a documentary film crew invades their home after the success of their book “How To Succeed In Marriage Without Even Trying.”
Jill co-hosts SheWired’s The Gloves Are Off with Cathy DeBuono, her long time artistic collaborator and partner.
