About

Jennifer Utz has been covering the Iraqi refugee crisis since the fall of 2006. She was one of the first journalists to highlight the extent of the crisis. She first broke the story on Democracy Now in February 2007. Her subsequent reports aired on ABC World News Tonight, France 24, and Current TV.

Jennifer was previously a producer at Democracy Now, an independent radio and television news broadcast hosted by the award-winning journalist Amy Goodman. In 2007 she co-produced a feature documentary about the Jewish-American academic Norman Finkelstein, field producing and filming in Canada, Japan, and Lebanon.

She spent 2004 in India, teaching members of a women’s empowerment organization to produce outreach videos designed to educate a non-literate audience of Untouchable, Tribal, and Muslim populations. Prior to that, Jennifer co-edited a documentary about youth in Zimbabwe, comprised of footage smuggled out of the country. In 2003, Jennifer produced and edited a feature documentary about the academic program “Semester at Sea,” which documented the townships of South Africa, life in Castro’s Cuba, and the Movement for Landless People in Brazil.

In between overseas assignments, she works as a freelance graphic designer and motion graphics artist.

$1400 Room available in 2BR loft in Brooklyn, NY

1 Bedroom available in a 2-BR bright airy loft in Carroll Gardens

Hey there,
My roommate just got a job in LA so she’s leaving me and I’m looking for someone to take her room. Our place is incredible! It’s ideal for someone who is a freelancer and works from home because we have a fantastic, light, airy space away from the bedrooms where you can set up a home-office.

I am just about to sign a new one-year lease, and would like to find someone to take the room for one year. I’m open to negotiation, but would at least want a six-month commitment. To room is available November 1st, but if you want to move in earlier (ie, mid-October) we can probably work something out.

About me:
I’m a 31-year old female. I am a freelance videojournalist, documentary filmmaker, and web designer who spends part of my time working from home, but I’m also often on shoots or assignments around the city. I also travel a lot. I’ve spent a lot of time in the Middle East over the past six months, covering the Iraqi refugee situation.

I’m independent, clean, responsible, kind, laid-back, open-minded, liberal.

About you:
I’m open to a man or woman, aged late 20s to mid 30s. It would be great to have someone in the media field move in, but I’m open to all types. Of course, I want someone clean, responsible, kind, and all that…You are allowed to sublet if you are also a traveler like myself.

The rent:
$ 1400 / month + utilities

Utilities include:
-cable TV and Internet ($ 100/month split between both of us)
-electric (typically it’s been around $ 50/month split between both of us)

The house:
-Cable TV
-Hardwood floors throughout
-Wireless Internet
-Dishwasher
-Dishes, pots, pans
-Coffee Grinder/ Espresso Machine/CoffeeMaker/Blender…all the amenities
-Pull-out couch and huge dining room table in the living room
-High Ceilings (12 feet)
-Lots of light
-Laundry in building
-Clean and safe building
-Garbage chute right across the hall

The Neighborhood:
-On the F line, just steps from the Subway at Smith/9th—it’s a 2-minute walk to the entrance
-5 stops on the subway to get to Manhattan
-Safe—I’m a female and often come home late from the city and have never felt unsafe
-Lots of shops, cafes, restaurants, bars on Smith and Court Streets

The room:
-14’ by 10 1/2’
-cozy, hardwood floors
-unfurnished (unless you want to buy the Ikea closet you see in the photos – $ 200)

Check out more photos of the house here:

Cheers,
Jen
