🌎 International Recognition for Slightly Cracked: The Trilogy
Fresh from the New Jersey Web Fest 2025, Jennifer Monk has returned home to Australia celebrating two major international awards — Best Writing and Outstanding Drama — for her digital series Slightly Cracked: THE TRILOGY.
Held annually in Montclair, New Jersey, the festival is recognised worldwide for its professionalism, integrity, and genuine creative community. Jennifer attended in person, where she was celebrated alongside filmmakers from across the globe.
“From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely recognised and appreciated for my work. The festival team and attendees already knew my series, and their encouragement was incredible. They truly want you to succeed.”
Slightly Cracked: THE TRILOGY is a darkly comic and heartfelt exploration of women’s mental health and resilience. The story follows Nadia, a new mum at crisis point who checks herself into a “new age” mental health facility that offers yoga, cocktails, and spa treatments — but all may not be as it seems.
Created through Girls Act Good, the original stage play was written by Lisa Dallinger and Jennifer Monk, and adapted for the screen by Laura Jane Turner and Jennifer Monk. Drawing on real stories and interviews, the series shines a light on women’s strength, the realities of mental health care, and the power of storytelling to create change.
These international wins mark another milestone in Jennifer’s mission to champion bold, female-driven stories through her production company JMONK Vision with Girls Act Good.
