Jillian Carney Howell is a filmmaker, non-profit leader, and production management professional originally from Scott Depot, West Virginia. Although she now resides in Los Angeles, California and works full time at Walt Disney Animation Studios, she moonlights as an independent storyteller with films that celebrate her Appalachian heritage through an empathetic and collaborative lens. Often overdressed and always colorful, she is never one to turn down an opportunity to wear sequins.
