JENNIFER NOTAS (Writer) - Jennifer Notas channeled her love of writing and passion for pop culture during her time as a Television/Radio major at Ithaca College in upstate New York, completing a concentration in Screenwriting, a minor in Writing and four semesters as a tutor in the school’s Writing Center. After graduation, Notas moved to Los Angeles with the plan to become a sitcom writer. While working in television as an executive assistant, writer’s assistant and assistant story editor, Notas also found time to write spec scripts and a couple of screenplays.

But life was about to come full circle. After freelancing as a script reader for Larry Levinson Productions (LLP) and generally struggling to make it in the entertainment business, Notas called it quits and enrolled in a Masters program at Pepperdine University. With two months to go before graduation, Notas received great news from Larry Levinson Productions that Hallmark Channel and producing partner LLP were interested in hiring her to write the Hallmark Channel Original Movie, “Elevator Girl.”

Notas has had several Hallmark Channel Original Movies produced since and is currently working on developing other projects with LLP.
