ODELAY FILMS SWOOP FOR JENNIFER SHERIDAN.
10 July 2024

Comedy director Jennifer Sheridan is now on the books at Odelay Films. The move covers both the UK and the US, with Diane Patrone as her contact at The Family NYC. Is Sheridan happy with the set-up? You bet she is.

"Odelay instantly felt like they matched my energy and got behind my creative intentions within the commercial world," she says. "I'm also the kind of person who brings my own water bottle and coffee cup to every set, so their B Corp Accreditation got two very enthusiastic thumbs up from me."


Sheridan, whose credits include seven episodes of 'Extraordinary' on Disney+, adds: "The best part is that they're just genuinely lovely folks who get my unique sense of honour. I’m absolutely thrilled to kick off this new chapter and supercharge my creative journey with Odelay by my side!"



Her work feels current and cool as well as being laugh out loud funny.

 ”

Perhaps her biggest cheerleader is Aly Moffat, who says: "I have been a fan of Jennifer for quite some time and the moment we started talking we knew she was a perfect fit for Odelay both here and in the United States. I have been lucky to work with some of the best comedy directors around and Jen ticks all the right boxes."


"Her editing background means she knows exactly where the funny needs to land, her casting is bang-on, and her work feels current and cool as well as being laugh out loud funny. 'Extraordinary' is hands down one of the best comedies out there right now."
