The Team

Director - Jenna Winters has spent more than a decade producing television for networks like Fox, E!, Lifetime and Oxygen. She spent the early years of her career working as a reporter for “The Santa Fe New Mexican” and news affiliates of ABC, NBC and CBS. Jenna is also grateful for the training she received while earning a Bachelor’s degree from the University of New Mexico and a Master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University. While spending the bulk of her career at the longtime Fox hit series, “America’s Most Wanted,” Jenna learned how to take even the most gut-wrenching story and turn it into an emotional story about a human, instead of a story about a crime. For that, she earned a reputation in the industry for creating pieces that go straight to the heart. Winters knew she wanted to be a journalist from a young age when she’d spy on the camera crews that visited her home on a regular basis to interview her father – sculptor Michael Naranjo. It has been her life-long dream to take a turn telling her mother and father’s story. She feels there is no one on Earth better equipped to give a unique and deep perspective to this story.

 

Director of Photography - Bill Stengel grew up in the wilds of the suburbs outside New York City. When he was 12, his dad gave him a Canon AE-1 to keep him occupied while the two worked on the Finback, a whale watch boat out of Montauk. Long days, often 100 miles offshore in search of whales, Bill explored the Finback with the camera in hand. He has a B.F.A. in photography from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
The latest incarnation of his career has him working as a DP/Director on commercial motion projects ranging from corporate bank testimonials to making content for Land Rover to following fishermen throughout Northern Nevada for Outside Magazine.
