Jessie Kahnweiler

We made a movie! At 35. I fell in love for the first time. It was real true heart exploding kinda love and it was horrifying. To know someone so deeply, to have someone know me, like really know me. I wanted to make a movie about the terror of being truly vulnerable.

I wrote about that time I held a casting call to find the perfect boyfriend....kind of. jessiekahnweiler.substack.com/p/stupid-quest…

@eddyportnoy @NOWNESS i can think of no better validation than the bad rabbi himself! xo

@jesskahnweiler @NOWNESS "She's gone - cross her off the list!" I love this!

I often think of my life as a movie, so when a random camera crew began following me and my friends around while we were in desperate search of Chinese food on Christmas, I didn’t bat an eye. @NOWNESS youtube.com/watch?v=0usD3D…

This week I wrote about BIRTH. Giving birth (in all its forms) is the most epic, goddess-warrior shit I could ever think of, and no, I didn't really get it till I did it, but now I do, and so here we go... jessiekahnweiler.substack.com/p/my-birth-sto…

@RageCreate83826 @reboot @HollyShorts @noamdromi fair! but as a director that part was truly out of my control :)

Had a blast @ the premiere of JUST THE TIP. There’s nothing like seeing your blood sweat and tears up on the big screen. I’ll truly never forget leaving my own screening halfway thru to barf. A sweet reminder from my daughter she was right there with me the whole time.

Just The Tip, a new provocative comedy from Reboot Studios and @JessKahnweiler that takes on the controversial topic of male circumcision, is now available to stream on @thedocschannel! Congrats Jessie on this incredible achievement! Watch it at: ow.ly/oBZV50Tquow

Amber Thurman was 28 years old. She loved being a mom to her six-year-old boy. Her last words to her own mother: "“Promise me you’ll take care of my son.” Her son will grow up without his mom because of Donald Trump's Dobbs' decision and Georgia's MAGA abortion ban.

Sometimes it's a fine line between bringing light to something and making light of something but I stand by using humor to explore the darkest parts of ourselves. Life is a comedy. It's the Jewish way! (2/3)

When making JUST THE TIP I truly did take men's trauma and negative experiences/feelings about circumcision seriously but I didn't believe this subject matter could be explored without some irreverence and humor. (1/3)

I had a blast talking about one of my favorite films of all time. Jew or not, watching GIRLFRIENDS is a great way to spend 90 minutes!!

@stephksays @THR @brianjoralvarez @paulsimms @DaveKingThing @FXNetworks This episode is INCREDIBLE as is this show all the Mazal Tovs to you!!! xoxoxo

Brilliant ad. If you have a daughter and you are voting for Trump you are insane. Also I hope you will one day have to explain to her why you voted for a man who was found to have sexually assaulted a woman.
