Jim Henson Age 32

Anaheim, CA | Orange, CA | Orange County, CA

Also known as: jimhenson

Interested in film and television nearly my entire life, I earned my BS in radio-television-film at The University of Texas at Austin in . After taking several introductory producing classes, my interests veered from physical production to the legal side of the entertainment industry. I returned home to Chicago upon graduating and spent nearly a year balancing two drastically different internships - one focusing on live entertainment at Chicago's legendary The Second City and another aiding underprivileged victims of abuse at a pro bono legal clinic. The challenges I faced during my time interning only cemented my interest in both law and entertainment. I am currently seeking a joint JDMFA degree from Chapman University in Southern California. Chapman University School of Law and the Conservatory of Motion Pictures have worked in partnership to provide the country's only fully integrated, interdisciplinary education in both the legal and creative sides of Hollywood.
