It is visual storytelling at its best. Ms. Godoy brings an eclectic resume to her director’s chair. Jeannette started her career as a Choreographer, creating both elegant and energetic dance moves for commercials, television, feature films, concert tours and music videos. She is most known for Sir Mix-A-Lot’s famous video “Baby Got Back.” Jeannette has worked on set as a Stylist for both motion pictures and commercials, collaborating alongside the industry’s best. She’s always in demand due to her commitment to detail and perfection. It was her creative process and discerning eye that led many of her directors to encourage her to take the helm herself. Last year, on the set of a Mazda job for Doner, the bilingual Ms. Godoy was asked to step in to direct the Spanish-speaking talent. Once bitten, Jeannette began looking for the perfect script to launch her career as a director. This spring, Jeannette was selected to SHOOT Magazine’s New Director Showcase for 2011, profiled as an up-and-coming Director in Shots, and was nominated for the “Young Director Award” at the 2011 Cannes International Advertising Festival.
