Her folk-horror short Taga, shot in the Philippines, is a 2025 CAPE Julia Gouw Short Film Award–funded project and an Official Selection of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. Taga was honored with the Wes Craven Award for Best Horror Short at the Catalina Film Festival, and Jill recently won the Minerva Award for Female-Identifying Writer-Director-Producers at FilmQuest. Jill earned her MFA in Directing from the American Film Institute, and her BA from the University of Chicago. Her films and music videos have screened at festivals including HollyShorts, Hawai‘i International Film Festival, BendFilm, Cinequest, SLO, and FilmQuest. When not behind the camera, Jill can often be found backpacking, wandering art museums, or chasing the uncanny—always searching for the strange and the sublime that spark her stories.
