About Jillian

Jillian Ruvalcaba is a Mexi-Rican American writer, director, and actor. Originally a Georgia native, she earned her BFA in Film and Television Production at USC's School of Cinematic Arts. She is currently a Script Coordinator on Max & The Midknights at Nickelodeon Animation Studio.

​

Being the child of a strict Lieutenant Colonel Marine Corps officer, Jillian thought she would make her father proud by pursuing comedy. Spoiler alert: she has not.*

​

Her filmmaking focuses particularly on sketch, satire, and absurdism. While she loves working behind the camera, Jillian adores performing for both the screen and the stage. You can find her writing and performing with her sketch comedy group, Leash Kid, or taking improv/clowning classes around LA. 

​

Jillian's interests include 70s funk & 80s pop, making homemade birthday cards, and quoting Back to the Future.
