About Jill

Early one morning in the mid-1980s in the living room of a trailer in a rural Connecticut town, Jill Poisson was sobbing 5-year-old who thought her friends had forgotten to pick her up on their way to outer space in a custom build cardboard rocket. A film, Explorers, had inspired the planned trip. That morning Jill learned the difference between fantasy and the reality she lived in, a normal kid might have been crushed, but not her. Instead, she revelled in the power of suspension of belief and fantastic worlds movies could offer. Jill was so captivated by storytelling to the point she decided to peruse it as a career. Jill is a bisexual woman built with New England grit & wit who can take on any genre. She specialises in breathing life into flawed characters that audiences want to root for. Humour is her secret weapon in all her work.
