Writer/director/actor of "I Am I." Jocelyn was born and raised in Los Angeles, attended Crossroads School for the Arts & Sciences and got her B.A. in Comparative Literature from UC Berkeley. She also studied dance at the Alvin Ailey School in New York. She got her first production assistant job at 17 on Jon Amiel’s film, “Copycat,” and continued to work as a p.a. for various indie films and commercials. Graduating after three years from UC Berkeley, she moved back to Los Angeles and attended the Meisner based Baron/Brown conservatory for two years. Having been a p.a. and wanting to get more experience on the set, Jocelyn worked for five months as a stand-in on Almost Famous, an incredible learning experience watching and participating in Cameron Crowe’s rehearsals with his actors and watching the amazing John Toll at work. In 2001, Jocelyn got a job as a reader for Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. She helped them to find “Little Miss Sunshine.” In 2004 she joined the Antaeus Academy Company, a classical theatre group based in North Hollywood. As an actor she has had the pleasure of working with some of Los Angeles’ most talented theatre directors, and also several wonderful film/television directors, including Joel Zwick on “Elvis Has Left the Building,” Barbara Kopple on “Havoc” and Bob Odenkirk on an HBO pilot, “Derek & Simon.” She recently completed work in two films, now both in post-production, "The Loop," starring Rachel Nichols, and "The Selling."
First, congratulations to you and Simon for your expecting little one. What joy!
Secondly, what great news the film is almost finished. Lots of succes and strength for the coming months. Esther
Wow. You are one fertile lady. A new baby and a new film at the same time. Bravo!
Can't wait to see them both.
I hope to see you and baby belly on Wednesday night.
xoxoxo
I'm so excited to hear the original song and to see your film!
Haven't heard in a while, any updates?
Congratulations, Jocelyn and everyone! I'm looking at funding a feature of my own through Kickstarter, and you guys are a major inspiration.
I just watched your video because you are backing a project I am also backing - I DO. Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I think your video was very well done. Kudos!
So I went and started a little project... It's not on Kickstarter, it's just a little way to get paid for indulging in a hobby of mine, cryptography. Here's the link, if anyone's curious, or would like to spread the word: "I will translate any text up to one page from English into a hidden code for $5." http://fiverr.com/205898
I know my name is hard to spell. I am so excited for you guys...CONGRATULATIONS! The name Déous is created by holding the Alt button and 0233 then release the alt key. You hold the alt the whole time. If this is to complicated you can leave out the accent. and just go with Deous.
CONGRATS!! KUDOS!!!! Best Project Video of the Year on Kickstarter!
That's some great accomplishment. I can only imagine what awards you are going to get when your movie comes out. Lots for sure!
Well, the first hurdle has been passed - now comes the exciting and fun part.
What a great start of the project. Good luck polishing the script.
You guys are just hilarious. I have now a mental image there Joccelyn and Simon are dealing out snuggis on the screening event. Hahaha!
Oooo... I like that idea! Though my fiance might call off the engagement if he comes home and I'm in a "Wearable Art" Snuggie! lol
Like, making a pattern that uses stars and sky, the way Van Gogh used to paint them...
No, NO! LOL!!!!! You misread me! Wearable art. As in, stuff inspired by famous paintings! I want to do original designs that are inspired BY Van Gogh, Renoir...
@David-- I'm pretty sure Joss has to give you permission, so you don't step on her copyright/trademark. Otherwise, you can limit her ability to create merch based on her movie/logo...
So I found a company who can make the fleece prints for me! Now to see what it'd cost, to make MY dreams come true with Wearable Art Snuggies!
So exciting!I've never been part of anything like this before and it's great! I'd buy a snugglie too.Winter's very cold here.Congratulations again to Joss The Boss and everyone else in the cast & crew! Power to the people! Now...when's the movie coming out? LOL
and.....ACTION!
Bravo, you guys.
Suzi
Heh, I'm a real crack-up. Badda-bing. Honestly though, I DO love Snuggies. I'm currently frustrated trying to find a way to get some of my favorite art printed on fleece fabric by the yard. THIS way I could make blankets and things based on things like my favorite painter, Vincent Van Gogh. Imagine wearing a Snuggie inspired by Van Gogh's Starry Night painting!
Congratulations Jocelyn! I am so excited for you and totally impressed with what you have achieved here! And you are in excellent hands with Cora and Jen producing!!
Eva, we are going to be developing I Am I merchandise eventually, as things progress! Thanks, Bernie, for pointing that out!!! We can't believe it ourselves!!! And just so everyone knows, there is already a facebook fan page for "I Am I" as well!!! And David C., you're cracking me up with the Snuggies thing!
@Joss & David C.-- I want 'I AM I' everything! I'd buy pretty much any merch that you come up with, Joss: Coffee mugs, sweatshirts, keychains. OR, if that's not something you're interested in, I'll open up shop myself, if I have permission to use the logo! Seriously, I got the Fever! And the only thing that will quench it, is more I AM I! ( Saturday Night Live, Christopher Walken/Will Ferrell skit reference...)
I slept! Ish. Drifted in and out with a smile on my face, and woke up with one too. It has been a joy to be part of something so special here, and the great thing is - the best is yet to come! I'd love to stay surrounded by you all too. I'm @daisystreet. Please feel free to follow. Have a wonderful weekend, everyone. :)
Jocelyn: Any chance you could order custom Snuggies made up to promote I Am I? I ask because I LOVE Snuggies, and I would definitely buy a couple to relax in!
Your film is on the KS "Hall of Fame" - the sixth most funded project since the inception of Kickstarter. Cool!!

Jocelyn, has it dawned on Simon that this makes you his boss? lol
Thanks Jim and Noemi!!!
Thank you everyone!!! And yes, affa, we will send an update later today of what is to come!!! Very excited!!! And we will continue to keep everyone posted!
Oh, MY yes, Jocelyn!!! Keep updating!!!
Jocelyn : can you please update us of any more news update about this project and such?
congratulations from switzerland!! this is so exciting! I'm already looking forward to the behind the scenes footage:)
I think the next step for us as backers is to deluge the tv shows like Today Show, Good Morning America, and any late night show we can THINK of, to get Jocelyn, Simon, & Jason on to talk about the movie. We should make it our mission, to get the word out!!!
