About Jennifer Green

profile image

Jennifer discovered a passion for international movies as an escape from her graduate studies in San Francisco, but it wasn’t until she moved to Spain that she realized she could make a career of it.

After a stint in the ABC News Madrid Bureau, where -- among other things -- she got to meet the country’s first female bullfighter, she became Screen International's correspondent for Spain and Portugal. She's been writing about the film industry in Europe and Latin America for more than 20 years, most recently for The Hollywood Reporter.

She began teaching journalism and film in 2005 and in 2014 launched the newspaper column/website Films from Afar, dedicated to curating and reviewing international movies available for home viewing in the United States. Her work is featured in a variety of magazines and newspapers.

She has been invited to sit on film festival juries across Spain and North Africa, most recently on the Critics’ Jury at the Malaga Film Festival. Her children are being raised between Spain and the United States.

Common Sense is dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive.
