That's Impossible Filmmakers

Jennifer Sims (Founder of More Salt Productions, Producer, Co-Director)
Jennifer is the founder of More Salt Productions, bringing together 15 years of hands-on production experience with a lifelong passion for storytelling. After earning a BFA from the Meadow’s School of the Arts in Dallas, Jennifer ventured into filmmaking as a production assistant for Simpatico and Nice Guys Sleep Alone, shot in Louisville, Kentucky, her hometown. She co-produced the independent film Keep Your Distance, starring Jennifer Westfeldt, winner of the Best Feature honors at the Breckenridge and Rhode Island Film Festivals. Jen went on to work as Production Coordinator for several documentaries and series for television in Los Angeles, eventually moving to a Production Manager role for three different series, including ABC’s top-rated Dancing with the Stars. Serving as Manager of Physical Production for the indie company The Film Department gave her the experience of overseeing an ambitious slate of movies, including A Little Bit of Heaven starring Kate Hudson and Gael Garcia Bernal. She harnessed her passion for innovation in her role as Producer at the technology and design house OOOii, working closely with top directors, such as JJ Abrams and Brad Bird, to deliver on-set graphics and visual effects for the films Tomorrowland, Into the Storm, and Star Trek Into Darkness. During her tenure at OOOii, she also collaborated with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences to develop a vision for their Academy Museum, serving as a producer for its Inaugural Event. Jen has recently enjoyed traveling the world with the production team of TLC’s Who Do You Think You Are?, a show that uncovers untold stories from history. Recently, she worked in the Factual Department with Morgan Freeman’s Revelations Entertainment. Jen is the proud mom of 7-year-old Lucie and the leader of Troop 6355 of the Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles.

Elizabeth Morton (Writer, Producer, Co-Director)
Elizabeth’s screenplay The Princess Rebellion was awarded 6th Place in the Emerging Screenwriters Screenplay Competition of 2015. Her play, The Stirring, recently received the opportunity of a table reading at the Lark Play Development Center in New York. And she is currently knee deep in research for a television miniseries script centered around women in politics during the 1910s and 1920s. In the world of creative storytelling, however, Elizabeth has mostly worked as a professional actor. Theatre credits include Death of a Salesman (Broadway, directed by Mike Nichols), Tribes (Berkeley Rep, directed by Jonathan Moscone), Girl Talk (Barrow Group in NYC, directed by Carrie Preston), To Kill a Mockingbird (Weston Playhouse, Vermont, directed by Malcolm Ewen), and The Member of the Wedding (Westport Country Playhouse, directed by Joanne Woodward), to name only a few. She has appeared in several episodes of television for shows such as Louie, 666 Park Avenue, and Law & Order: SVU as well as in the Sundance award-winning film, Forty Shades of Blue. Elizabeth has also narrated dozens of audio books, including Paul Rudnick’s novel Gorgeous. She is a graduate of the University of Evansville’s celebrated theatre department and a member of the Actors Center. In addition to her creative pursuits, Elizabeth leads the twice annual Inanna Workshop for women. Her home is just outside of New York City.

Hannah Sherman (Animation Director)
A lifelong Renaissance gal, Hannah has recently joined her passions for storytelling, drawing, and science education into a single vocation: animation. She currently draws humans and aliens for Comedy Central’s new animated series, Jeff and Some Aliens, in Portland, Oregon. Prior to this adventure, she created a short film that explains how lunar eclipses work, even showing what one would look like if viewed from the moon. After graduating with a major in anthropology and a minor in studio art from Skidmore College in 2012, Hannah brought science to life for visitors of the American Museum of Natural History in New York as a tour guide and Discovery Room facilitator. She also worked as a reporter and photojournalist for the online publication Saratoga Wire, did a fair share of freelance photography, and defended the education platform Schoology against software bugs. In her work as an animator, Hannah’s mission is to create engaging stories that both educate and inspire. The daughter of two professional actors, she has had a foot in “the biz” since day one, growing up in both LA and NYC.
