Jane Gilmore
is Executive Producer for the film Snapshots. She became involved in producing films after she hopped on a plane to San Francisco, in 2013, for three days, because she’d watched an Independent Lesbian Film and was intrigued. It was here that she met Jan Miller Corran, the writer and producer of Snapshots. She was hooked. Having discovered her talent for films (thanks to Jan) she has now become a ‘frequent flyer’ to film sets and events in Los Angeles. In representing Snapshots she has travelled as far as Australia and Europe and would do so again anytime, anywhere.
