A new artistic path

Jenni JWoww Farley is happy with the release of her first film and is open to continue creating stories that will entertain and show viewers a good time.

Farley gained significant recognition in 2009 as one of the eight principal cast members of Jersey Shore, a role she maintained for four seasons. Subsequently, she featured in the spin-off series Snooki & Jwoww from 2012 to 2015. In addition to these shows, Farley has made guest appearances on various programs, including TNA Impact!, Silent Library, One Life to Live, Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, Worst Cooks in America, and Floribama Shore.

Since 2015, she has been a prominent figure in the web series Snooki & Jwoww: Moms with Attitude, which initially premiered on go90 and transitioned to the MTV YouTube channel in 2018. Farley has also explored acting, making cameo appearances in films such as The Three Stooges and The Mint. Furthermore, she has utilized her personal experiences with mental health to inform her creative endeavors, writing and directing psychological thrillers that seek to change the conversation surrounding schizophrenia. Farley has been candid about her family's challenges, including her mother's battle with schizophrenia and the grief of losing loved ones.

Inpiration

JWoww decided to step into the world of directing by making her debut with the horror film Devon, following her success in the entertainment industry through reality TV. The movie, a found footage horror flick, has been picked up by Cineverse for distribution on their Screambox streaming platform. It revolves around a group of friends exploring an abandoned asylum in search of answers about a mysterious disappearance.

Having been a reality TV star for a long time, Farley expressed her enthusiasm for "diving into the horror space" and embarking on a new phase in her career. She sees Devon as just the starting point of her filmmaking journey.

Alongside her directing duties, Farley might have assumed additional roles, such as producing in Devon. Balancing various responsibilities can be challenging, particularly for a director making their debut.

Farley's shift from reality television to directing a horror film mirrors a trend of reality stars entering the film industry, especially in genres like horror that have dedicated fanbases. While the specific inspiration behind the film's storyline remains undisclosed, Devon provides Farley with an opportunity to exhibit her creative vision and storytelling skills in a fresh medium.
