To Jennifer is a found footage horror comedy film that was directed by James Cullen Bressack. It was released direct to DVD on October 15, 2013 and stars Chuck Pappas as a young man that sets out to confront his unfaithful girlfriend Jennifer. The entire film was shot and edited on the iPhone 5.
A sequel entitled 2 Jennifer was released in 2016.
The film follows Joey (Chuck Pappas), as he travels to meet his long-distance girlfriend of two years, Jennifer (Jessica Cameron). He believes that she is cheating on him and decides to film his trip down to her home in an attempt to elicit guilt from Jennifer over her presumed unfaithfulness. Joey manages to persuade his cousin Steven (James Cullen Bressack) and their friend Martin (Jody Barton) to join him on the trip, which turns into a car trip after Joey has a mental breakdown on a plane and puts them on the No Fly List. As the trio travels closer to their destination, Steven begins to grow leery of Joey's increasingly fragile mental state. This is further compounded by Joey's mother also showing concern over Joey during their Skype sessions, especially as he had never mentioned Jennifer to her before.
Critical reception has been mixed. Much of the criticism was due to the length of To Jennifer, as many of the critics felt that the film would have had more impact as a shorter film. Praise for the film commonly centered upon Bressack filming To Jennifer entirely on an iPhone, and a reviewer for Bloody Disgusting remarked that this gave the movie an "authentic video diary feel".DVD Verdict gave a mixed review, stating that "To Jennifer doesn't break any new ground as a horror story, but it works pretty well on its extremely small scale."
