Independent filmmaker and spoken word artist Alayna Jennings is a Salt Lake City native. In 2018, she formed a non-profit production company, Dream Sidedways Productions, with a focus on social awareness. Her work combines the artistry of poetry, choreography, and film to address critical social issues and affect authentic change. 

​

Her directorial debut Unremedied attacks the dangers of indifference and ignorance towards a relevant societal epidemic, sexual harassment.

​

Alayna's up and coming second film Dignity focuses on the effects of domestic violence while striving to raise awareness and generate empowerment for survivors.

​

Her written works have been performed live throughout the country, and include topics such as equality, female empowerment, child abandonment, and embracing the power of activism.
