SPEAKER BIO
Anna Jane Joyner is a story consultant and the founder and director of Good Energy Stories, a nonprofit consultancy that supports TV and film creators in telling wildly entertaining stories that honestly reflect the world we live in now—a world in which climate disruption is pervasive. Why is this work important? Good Energy worked with university research partners to analyze 37,453 scripted TV episodes and films released between 2016 and 2020, and determined that less than 3% of them included any kind of climate connection. Good Energy aims to make it as easy as possible to portray the climate crisis on-screen in entertaining and artful ways, in any storyline, across every genre.
Known as “Hollywood’s Climate Advisor,” Anna Jane has more than twenty years of experience in climate communications and storytelling. She is driven by a passion for TV and film —and for helping people find courage in the face of climate change. Her work has been featured in Rolling Stone, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, Glamour, Deadline, CNN, The Associated Press, The New York Times, and more.
