Jennifer Proctor is a filmmaker and media artist based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She is the former Managing Director of the Cinematexas Short Film Festival and Austin Cinemaker Co-op. Originally hailing from San Rafael, California, she moved to Austin in 1994 to study Radio-Television-Film and Philosophy at the University of Texas.

She then worked for KUT Radio, Austin’s NPR station, and in 2003 decided to pursue her love of filmmaking at the University of Iowa. Her work has shown at Aurora Picture Show, Portland Documentary & Experimental Film Fest, MadCat Film Festival, NextFrame, Basement Films, Mini-Cine, Splice This!, FLEXFest, SF Cinematheque, Cinematexas, Ms. Films, Dallas Video Fest, Iowa City Documentary Film Festival, and others.

Proctor has taken part in the movement of personal videoblogging while also using her vlog to explore her film practice. Voodles featured on this site are the results of these efforts - video "doodles" designed for exhibition on the web.

She holds an MA in Film Studies and an MFA in Film and Video Production from the University of Iowa. She is currently an Assistant Professor in Journalism and Screen Studies at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.
