Manipura Media Productions

Helmed by Jennifer Jiles who has made her mark in all facets of the entertainment industry as a multi-award- winning actress/writer/producer, Emmy Award-winning host, motivational speaker, and Radio City Music Hall Rockette. Passionate about creating relatable content that entertains while moving a diverse audience to feel connected and validated, Manipura Media Productions’ credits include: the unscripted series History by Design and The DeMystics, the multi-award winning family comedy pilot Mother of the Week, the behind the scenes baseball comedy series Curveballs with Adam Ferrara (Nurse Jackie) and Executive Produced by Chris Mazzilli (Downey’s Dream Cars), Kicking & Screaming, TheMusical! about Jiles’ experiences on the iconic kick line at Radio City, the keynote speech A Rockette Out of Line, the live sketch show Third Rail Comedy with Rob Corddry (Ballers), and the upcoming dark comedy feature #Skank directed by Shaun Piccinino (Starz, Netflix, HBOMax, WB, Lionsgate).

History by Design takes us on a journey through time, from the 1700’s to present day, where we explore the architecture of a simple three-room house, English and Dutch barns, and the communities that built them. Through the use of cutting-edge 3D animation and digital technology these rural structures are transformed into modern day living spaces for the homeowners of today. There is a thread that weaves through the generations of these homes, a deep history, telling us a story and reimagining the roots that connect us all.
