Tubefilter got our hands on an exclusive sneak peek of the highly anticipated trailer for Jenn2.0, the meta-biographical scripted web series about real-life San Diego blogger and social media consultant Jennifer Van Grove. The reality-esque series, created by Rob Lewis of Dare Fusion in association with NAS Productions, follows the life of social media consultant Jenn Leary (played by Alexis Grenier) as she tries to build her personal brand in the Web 2.0 landscape without succumbing to information overload.
Lewis, along with writer Darren Elwood and director Cody Long, based much of the fictional Jenn2.0 story around Van Grove’s life—both professional and social. In a recent Tubefilter interview Van Grove told us, “During the pilot creation process, I shared a lot of personal things about my life, including my love life (which seems a little odd in retrospect). We’ve talked about the challenges I face on a daily basis, the types of people who I spend time with online and off, and the personal goals I have.” It seems that when your professional identity is built in the social media landscape, it becomes hard to distinguish between your job and your life.
We all aspire for those eyeballs which measure our success and failure on the web, and Jenn seems to have it made. But with profiles to maintain, statuses to update, blog entries to post, beta sites, web links, comments to answer, new connections, old friends, opportunities, software upgrades, chat conversations, emails, and even phone calls, Jenn’s life is a full time job, and one wonders if there is any room left for personal life at all. Is Jenn’s heavily connected lifestyle the new sign of success or simply a frantic attempt at self discovery that is doomed to implode? We can’t wait to find out.

I’m loving the sneak peeks guys… good stuff.
Unfortunately, the trailer on Vimeo is down right now… although I want to point out that the Vimeo error display is the best I’ve seen on a video site.
Thanks for the coverage Drew! We’re happy to be mentioned by the true journalistic professionals at Tubefilter.tv Keep up the good work.
Can’t wait to see the final!! When is the series expected to be released? Keep up the great work, bitches!
Thanks Arjun – seems to be working now.
Thanks for the coverage guys. We’re really excited about the whole thing is coming together. I can’t wait until we can actually debut the pilot episode.
I’ve spent the entirety of my professional life in Internet culture and this all seems oddly unfamiliar to me. I will say: it looks well produced.
Very cool to see beautiful downtown San Diego as the setting for a very fun looking show. Congrats!
Good feedback Roebot. The show is about a girl living a connected life. I think the pilot episode will fill in the blanks that may be missing for you in the teaser. Thanks for taking time to post.
Very cool, looking forward to the show. Can you share “expected” release date? Congrats to all involved!
Dave Normand, The best we can say is early 2009. :)

Looks great. Can’t wait to see it’s debut!
Amazing! Congratulations! Can’t wait to see more. Mary Ellen
I love this teaser… sitting next to both leading ladies, and doing shots on camera was much fun! ;)
Great work guys – the story is so meta it makes me laugh a little. What happens if Jenn2.0 outshines @JBruin? A real-world faceoff??
Can’t wait to watch the first episode. Looks really great.
Just curious…how many episodes are planned, or “in the can?” And, where will the online show be aired/distributed? (active URL?)
Thanks,
