CEO at Trevanna
Jennifer Freed
Jennifer founded Trevanna Post in NY, after working as a Production Accountant on major motion pictures on both coasts & internationally. Trevanna Post has been the gold standard for Post Production Accounting for more than 25 years, and has grown from a 2 person office in NYC's historic Brill Building to a firm with offices in NY, Los Angeles and London, staffed by over 40 people. Trevanna has worked with every major, mini-major and independent studio on over 600 film and television shows.
Trevanna Tracks was born out of Jennifer's unique perspective on the need for more efficient collaboration between those responsible for getting music licenses negotiated, paid and delivered. Jennifer's access to veteran Film & TV industry experts enabled her to form a powerful think tank around these issues, and to create a new model for researching, budgeting, tracking, paying and delivering music licenses.
