Interview With Jennifer Getzinger

Butv10 got a chance to talk to director and COM alum Jennifer Getzinger about her her career and her work on AMC’s critically acclaimed series Mad Men, including the critically acclaimed episode from 2010 titled “The Suitcase,” which she directed.

Since studying broadcasting and film at BU, Getzinger has worked as a script supervisor on many films, among them Requiem for a Dream and The Devil Wears Prada, and television series', including Strangers with Candy, Sex & the City, and The Sopranos. She first started working at Mad Men as a script supervisor, but has gone on to direct seven episodes. She has also directed episodes of AMC’s The Killing, TNT’s Men of a Certain Age, Showtime’s The Big C, HBO’s Hung, and ABC’s long-running series Desperate Housewives. Getzinger was selected to participate in the American Film Institute’s Directing Workshop for Women, an experience she says helped her earn a chance at directing Mad Men.
