About the Filmmakers: Jenny Schweitzer Bell & Brian Bell

Jenny and Brian are a husband-and-wife filmmaking team based in New York City. Together they produced several director-driven, narrative independent feature films from 2001 to 2006. Over the past decade, while Jenny focused on directing commissioned and personal short documentaries, Brian produced studio-backed narrative feature films. Now reunited, they are committed to making films that challenge the status quo and explore the complexities of the human experience.

Jenny’s work has premiered with top-tier publications such as The New York Times, The New Yorker, National Geographic, and The Atlantic. Her films “The Magic of Chess” and “Girls in Chess” were selected for the 2020 American Film Showcase, and “The Magic of Chess” received a “Best of the Year” nomination at the 2020 Vimeo Film Awards. 

Brian is a veteran film producer with over two decades of experience in the industry. He has collaborated with renowned directors such as Ang Lee, Todd Haynes, Noah Baumbach, Jason Reitman, Phil Lord/Chris Miller, and Will Speck/Josh Gordon.

Despite their best efforts, their two teenage daughters have no interest in making movies.
