Character first
We begin with people: their contradictions, their choices, and what they will risk when the stakes become personal.

Jennifer O’Dell
Jennifer O’Dell has spent nearly her entire life telling stories.
Beginning her professional career at just eight years old, Jennifer grew up in front of the camera, building a career as an actress across film and television and gaining an education in filmmaking that could never be taught in a classroom. Over four decades on sets, she worked alongside countless directors, producers, actors, and crews, learning not only how a story is performed, but how it is shaped from the other side of the lens.
Audiences may know Jennifer from her role as Veronica Layton on the television series The Lost World, along with appearances in numerous television series and films throughout her career.
But acting was only one part of the plan. Directing and producing were always where she wanted that journey to lead.
After decades spent learning the craft from inside the frame, Jennifer founded Eleven Twenty Seven Productions as the home for the stories she wanted to tell herself—character-driven films with complicated, resilient women at their center and stories that aren't afraid to explore uncomfortable emotional territory.
A life in film
From inside the frame to behind the camera.
Her directorial debut, The Last Round, marked that transition. Written and directed by Jennifer, the film explores identity, sacrifice, and personal agency through the world of professional MMA. Created as both a standalone short and a proof of concept for a larger series, the film began its festival journey with a nomination for Best Proof of Concept at Film Fest LA.
Jennifer is now in pre-production on her second film, Rearview, a contained psychological thriller about a rideshare driver whose final passenger of the night seems to know everything about the deadly secret she has spent years trying to outrun.
For Jennifer, Eleven Twenty Seven isn't the beginning of a new career. It's the culmination of the one she's been building since she was eight years old. After a lifetime spent helping bring other people's stories to life, she's finally stepping behind the camera to tell her own.
