Kwami Ngaojia
From Newark, New Jersey, Kwami graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in Video Production & a minor in Psychology. Kwami was always interested in helping those in need & would always seek out ways to do so. Before he found Beard & Bowler, he worked as a case manager for high risk & at risk families in central Jersey. He would then go on to join the Army National Guard & to this day, is serving as a logistics officer. Kwami is a jack of all trades over at B&B headquarters.
He can direct, edit, shoot, produce, coordinate, delegate, & whatever else is needed of him. He came across B&B while searching for a job on Linkedin & was drawn to it, due in part to seeing that it’s run by a black man. Being black himself, it was inspiring for him to see someone of color in a position of leadership in the film/video industry. Kwami manages a lot over at B&B, including an overseas team of editors, always helping out any way he can if someone has too much on their plate.
Despite all of this though, Kwami isn’t all work. In his offtime, he enjoys all sorts of leisurely activities, including playing video games, watching anime, working out, listening to all sorts of genres of music from rap to rock to lofi to classical, & traveling.
Jenna Ventrice
Ever since age 11, Jenna Ventrice has been editing videos all on her own, even teaching herself how to use Final Cut. That’s not to say she’s a one-trick pony though. Jenna has had a ton of experience on the sets of various short films and live TV, making her capable of taking on a variety of different roles. Jenna attended Emerson College where she eventually learned After Effects & Premiere Pro among other editing software.
For one of her classes, she was tasked with directing a silent short film. Unfortunately, it was during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, leading to a plethora of restrictions. Her solution? Make the film a love story about two people who were forced to be six-feet apart from each other. Jenna also worked for a live sports talk show held at Emerson called Box Score, where she worked as camera operator. At one point, she had an internship in Los Angeles where she helped clients with website design. There, she also did a lot of shadowing, learning some pro tools in fixing audio and color in TV.
Naturally, Jenna primarily edits various YouTube videos and shorts for B&B and occasionally records some behind-the-scenes footage during shoots. Something that Jenna takes a huge interest in is fashion. She has bonded with many people over it and has even worked three retail jobs in women’s clothing prior to B&B. She also obviously has a huge passion for film, trying to go to the movies at least once a week. In particular, she enjoys horror movies, with one of her favorites being Possession directed by Andrzej Zulawski.
