During her career, Mamie Jean has produced and directed more than 200 cable television shows. Her latest screenplay, In the Eyes of a Killer, was filmed on the Sacramento Delta in central California. The film has won many awards, including Best Film (NorCal Film Festival, Sacramento). The trailer for In the Eyes of a Killer can be seen on YouTube. The movie can now be rented at Blockbuster and can be purchased on Amazon. It is also available on pay-per-view. The film has sold to the foreign market as well as domestically to Monarch Films.
