Jennifer Podemski is the co-creator and showrunner on the Crave Original drama series, Little Bird. Born and raised in Toronto, Jennifer is Anishinaabe and Cree on her mother’s side and Jewish on her father’s. She is a member of Muscowpetung First Nation in Treaty 4, Saskatchewan. With a career spanning over 30 years, Jennifer has worked extensively in front and behind the camera and has earned a long list of awards, accolades and recognition for her work. In 1999, following a ten-year career in front of the camera, Jennifer was frustrated with the absence of Indigenous representation across the screen sector, so she launched Big Soul Productions, a full-service film and television production company dedicated to creating content through an Indigenous lens. By 2005, Jennifer had been at the helm of multiple television series, documentaries and two seasons of the first all Indigenous drama series Moccasin Flats. In 2005, Jennifer reinvented her approach to content creation and launched Redcloud Studios Inc., a boutique independent production company anchored by Jennifer’s creative vision, Indigenous-led process and commitment to building capacity. Since inception, Redcloud Studios Inc. has produced a wide variety of content across multiple platforms and genres, with Jennifer in the role of showrunner and executive producer, including Rabbit Fall (two seasons, drama series, Space TV/APTN), The Other Side (six seasons, factual, APTN), Indspire Awards (15 seasons, live – broadcast event, APTN/CBC), Future History (two seasons, doc-series (APTN), Unsettled (one season, drama series (APTN/TVO), Empire of Dirt (feature film, Mongrel Media dist.). In 2020, Jennifer launched The Shine Network Institute, a not-for-profit organization committed to dismantling systemic barriers facing Indigenous women across the screen sector through training, mentorship and advocacy.
