Jana Mattioli has been working in the entertainment business for the last decade, in both film and theatre. She has directed several Off Broadway plays, including "The Garden Party,” "Every Other Inch a Liar,” "The Glorious Fourth,” "House Arrest,” and "Comrades."

"An Affirmative Act" is a personal passion project for Jana, not only because she was handpicked by Kenneth Del Vecchio to make her motion picture directorial debut, but because of the importance of this film in the struggle for equality and the legalization of gay marriage.  Blessed to have a supportive family, Jana credits her parents (Robert and Julianne Mattioli) for encouraging her to always follow her heart and never cease in her career and personal ascents.  With this movie, Jana indeed is following her heart--in an effort to better so many's lives.  Jana Mattioli has a BFA in Communications, with a focus in Film and Video, from Adelphi University.
