Vision
​
At Pink Mud Productions, we are on a mission to create raw, unflinching, and deeply human films. Grounded in truth and rich with complexity, our stories embrace life’s messy, layered, and often contradictory human nature—never polished for comfort.
​
Multi-Biased Storytelling: Embracing Complexity
We embrace a multi-biased approach, leaning into contradictions and raw truths without simplifying perspectives or fitting a specific agenda. By reflecting life’s complexity, we challenge audiences, and ourselves, to think deeper and engage in meaningful conversations.
​
Fostering Connection Through Truth
Our films are never preachy or partisan—and never afraid to dig deep. We confront, challenge, and reveal raw truth to foster empathy, connection, and a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world.
​
Our Work
Our short film Somewhere You Feel Free won the Audience Award and Jury Award at WIFT Austin Member Showcase; the Audience Award for best Film at Austin Under the Stars, Best film at Austin Spotlight, and received an Honorable Mention for Outstanding Film at Cine Las Américas. Other works including New Me (Best Romantic Comedy at Austin Comedy Film Festival), GoodWill, HI-NA, Letting Go, and Porcelain. We’ve also partnered with brands such as Wolves Call, The Pastry Zone, Fit & Fearless, and Synchronicity Texas to create campaigns rooted in authenticity and impact.

TESTIMONIALS
I had the pleasure of producing Jenny's emotionally provoking short film, Somwhere You Feel Free. Working with Jenny was as fun as making films gets. She's organized, professional, communicative and overall an incredibly talented creative. Her open mindedness makes all stages of production easier and collaborative. My experience working with her on her short film left me feeling inspired as a filmmaker. I cannot wait to work together again in the future.

Jenny leads with kindness and always has words of encouragement and wisdom. Behind all the positivity, she's a machine and works harder than anyone I know to make sure all systems are functioning properly of a successful project. She is easy to talk to, always available and ready to give advice; with that, she knows how to give the artists autonomy and independence in making the best decisions for the project. I highly recommend Pink Mud Productions.
