Jillian got her start in film when she attended La Salle University and studied Communications. A part of the curriculum focused heavily on film production. While she attended college, Jillian worked as a reporter for the Wall Street Journal. After graduation in 1991, Jillian got an internship on the set of Spike Lee’s movie Malcolm X. Leaving the Wall Street Journal she started her own production company Jillian Bullock Enterprises, LLC (formerly Jaguar Productions, Inc.). Jillian has worked on her own movies, “Spirit” and a documentary, “A Filmmaker’s Personal Journey,” which won the Mickey Michaux award, and other filmmakers’ movies as a screenwriter, director, producer, actor, or fight choreographer.
She has sold two scripts in her career so far; “The Champion Inside,” a drama that involved boxing and cancer and “Scar Across My Heart,” a drama that included mixed martial arts and rehabilitation after prison. Due to her expertise as a screenwriter and a filmmaker, since 2006 Jillian has been a screenwriting judge for the Set in Philadelphia Screenwriting contest, which is sponsored by the Greater Philadelphia Film Office.
Jillian is currently in post-production on her newest film entitled “A Sense of Purpose: Fighting For Our Lives.” The story focuses on an Army medic, who struggles to learn how to cope with post-traumatic stress disorder and assimilate back into society after she has been sexually assaulted by her commanding officer. Jillian wore the hats of writer, director, producer, fight choreographer, and actor. www.jbullockenterprises.com
