Who am I?... the age old question, condensed into a little tiny box on the internet...
I have a passion for life, movies, music, creativity and people. I have been told I have an old soul and a young heart and the rest of my life pretty much follows that contradiction. An individual (as yet untamed by man) who enjoys not conforming and strives to make a positive difference in the world. :)
I'm extremely creative and imaginative and love films - from classics to blockbusters. Film is also my vocation and I have been doing it professionally for 14 years... but luckily I have youthful genes and don't look quite that old! ;) You can even find me on the Internet Movie Database.
While recovering from ME/CFS, I have adjusted my career and am currently concentrating on screenwriting and development. I use positivity to overcome this challenge in my life and hope this will inspire others to not let difficulties get in the way of following their dreams. I am living proof that anything is possible!
I am also working on another very exciting project at the moment with film-maker Rob Craine - due to launch early next year. My ambition is to to continue writing, start producing, have fun and change the the entertainment industry for the better while I'm at it! =) I would like my gift to the public to be highly entertaining movies that also have a deeper, more enriching, ethical message. You know, entertaining enough, not to notice any message, but satisfying enough to feel your belly full of movie goodness and a deeper connection to the universe and humanity.
Please check out my film website jengovey.co.uk for more details about me and my work and for information, resources and advice about the film industry.
My latest news is that I'm going to be featured in Lisa Tenzin-Dolma's new book: Teach Yourself Astrology, which is to be released on the 30th November and available on Amazon and all good bookshops. :)
