About Jillian

Jillian Bullock is the CEO/President of Jillian Bullock Enterprises, LLC, an entertainment and film production company based in Pennsylvania. She is also a transformation speaker and certified professional life coach.
While Jillian attended college she worked as a reporter for “The Wall Street Journal.” After graduation with a degree in Communications from La Salle University, Jillian got her start in filmmaking as an intern on Spike Lee’s movie “Malcolm X.” From there, she has worked on her own, and other people’s movies as an actor, writer, producer, director, and fight choreographer. Jillian got that last title due to her extensive background in martial arts and boxing.

Jillian took off from filmmaking for a number of years in order to focus on writing her memoir, “HERE I STAND,” which was published in 2012. The story tells of Jillian’s upbringing with her African-American mother and her white stepfather, who was a member of the Philadelphia Italian Mafia. In 2013, she started getting invites to speak and to share her story of overcoming horrific obstacles, which included homelessness, drug addiction and prostitution, to transform her life and become a successful businesswoman and award winning filmmaker.

Jillian wrote and directed the documentary “A Filmmaker’s Personal Journey.” She went on to write, direct and produce the drama “Spirit.” Jillian recently completed “A Sense of Purpose: Fighting For Our Lives,” a feature film that focuses on veterans, PTSD and military sexual assault. She has won several awards for the movie and the film will be available on VOD starting in May 2020. Jillian, along with award winning DP, Lamont Fountain, also co-wrote and directed “Fight of Your Life,” a PSA music video to bring more awareness to military sexual assault and PTSD.

She wrote, directed and produced the short film “Touch With Your Eyes” in July 2019. The film is making the film festival rounds. Currently, Jillian is in pre-production on the movie “A Cup Full of Crazy,” a psychological thriller that deals with mental illness. Production will begin in September 2020.

Since 2007, Jillian has been a screenwriting judge for the Set In Philadelphia Screenwriting Contest, which is sponsored by the Greater Philadelphia Film Office. She also teaches screenwriting workshops in Philadelphia.
Jillian’s life story and her work as a filmmaker, author, fitness expert, and professional speaker has been featured in several media outlets, including Ebony, Essence, Forbes, People, Philadelphia Inquirer, New York Times; radio programs such as Steven Knight Radio, January Jones Radio Show, Living Fully After 40 Radio, Cyrus Webb Conversations Live, and TV news programs on CBS, ABC, Fox, and NBC.
