Biography

Jenica Bergere is a multifaceted Los Angeles-based individual who has established herself as a talented and accomplished figure in the entertainment industry. With over 25 years of experience, she has built a reputation as a comedic actress, appearing in over twenty feature films and as a series regular on numerous shows across major networks such as ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, and Showtime.

Throughout her career, Bergere has demonstrated her versatility by writing and selling shows, developing and producing content, and honing her creative skills to encompass all aspects of filmmaking. Over the past several years, she has nurtured her passion for storytelling by directing feature films, drawing from her personal experiences growing up in a family of complex individuals, including those in the adult entertainment industry.

Bergere's debut micro-budget film, Come Simi, was a remarkable achievement, shot in just 10 days with a budget of only $10,000. The film garnered several festival awards, including Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Feature, and received worldwide distribution through The Orchard.

Her second directorial endeavor, Spare Room, was an award-winning film that showcased her ability to elicit authentic performances from her cast and her decisiveness on set. The film was written by a woman from Chicago who sought Bergere out to tell her story, and their collaboration was featured in Forbes magazine. Bergere was also recognized as one of the top five female filmmakers making the festival rounds in 2019.

Spare Room is distributed worldwide through Gravitas Ventures, and Bergere's ability to achieve so much with limited resources is a testament to her skill and dedication.

In her personal life, Bergere resides in Culver City with her three daughters, a professional chef husband, and two rescue dogs with bad breath.
