Vicky Jenson's career is unique in that she has mostly worked on animated films. She got her start as a storyboard artist. Considered one of Hollywood's Most Inspiring Female Directors, Jenson's career spans more than two decades in both animation and live action, from television, to feature films, shorts and commercials. An artist first, Vicky started out as a production designer but often storyboarded for directors like John Hughes and Wang Wang, with companies like Disney and DreamWorks, and in 2001, made her directorial debut as co-director of the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film "Shrek." She also co-directed 2004's "Shark Tale." In 2009, Jenson directed her first live-action film, the romantic comedy "Post Grad."

Her live action directorial debut was a well-received short, which after premiering at Sundance, went on to win multiple awards at festivals worldwide. Vicky's directorial work has earned countless awards, including the first Academy Award given to an animated picture for Shrek, as well as a BAFTA Award, recognition from the Broadcast Film Critics Association, Cannes, the People's Choice Awards, and the Golden Globes, among many others. Vicky is currently directing her third animated comedy for DreamWorks and is writing a live action feature to follow.

TIME STANDS STILL is a compelling drama set in Brooklyn, focusing on Sarah and James, a photojournalist and a foreign correspondent trying to find happiness in a world that seems to have gone crazy. Theirs is a partnership based on telling the toughest stories, and together, making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life.

"TIME STANDS STILL" also features an All Star Cast, including Presciliana Esparolini, Aiden Bristow, Troy Ruptash, and Lily Holleman. Set to open January 17th, 2015, at 8:00PM, at The Secret Rose Theatre, with a Red Carpet Gala and reception immediately following the opening performance.
