She is the founder of JSFL and the creator of “The Technique”, the most influential craft to be developed since Strasberg’s “The Method”. “The Technique” is a groundbreaking approach to writing, directing and acting craft known throughout Hollywood and the international film world as the crucial force behind the most exciting film and television being made today.

With her reputation as a master of film and episodic craft firmly established, Scheckel believes passionately in the power of story: “I believe human beings crave authentic connection to themselves and others – and find it in stories that are daring, real, and true to the heart. From this root, I am compelled to bring about movies that inspire life.”
