Why Wait for opportunities when you can create them yourself!

Jahnnalee Randall
Originally from a farm in Wisconsin, Jahnnalee Randall moved to Los Angeles to reach her dreams of working in the entertainment industry as an actor. While going to audition after audition and being stuck in LA traffic, Jahnnalee said F this and created her own film company with her talented dog Gizmo the Chihuahua. Why Wait for someone else to create opportunities when you can do it yourself! So she started writing and directing films which many of them have become award winners!
As an actor Jahnnalee's resume boasts numerous pilots, independent films, award-winning shorts, features, television shows, music videos, commercials, podcasts, and radio appearances.
Jahnnalee graduated high school at the age of sixteen and went onto five different colleges to learn communications, photography, web design, multimedia, screenwriting and filmmaking. Jahnnalee's acting training has been in Los Angeles, CA under Robert Carnegie learning the Meisner technique at PlayHouse West, improv intensive at Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB), Killian's commercial workshop, comedy intensive with Lesly Kahn, Sketch Writing at UCB, and vocal dialect with Carolyn Fallin to help tone down her Midwestern accent for auditions!
Although Jahnnalee enjoys and values what she has been taught through her extensive training, her favorite method is to learn by doing. Just going out there and creating. Even if she fails at any of her endeavors, she looks at it in a positive light. She realizes that if her projects don't work, she has narrowed down the path of finding out what will work to break into the film industry!
