Jillian Bullock

JILLIAN BULLOCK  is an author, speaker, fitness expert, mental health advocate, plant-based and vegan nutrition specialist, and an award winning filmmaker, who graduated with a degree from La Salle University. 

She always knew she would grow up to be a writer. Since Jillian was a little girl, she wrote stories about crime and murder. She’d watch movies like Cold Blood, which was a book written by Truman Capote that was turned into a TV movie. It was dark, disturbing and very violent. Something the average young girl should have never seen. But Jillian wasn’t average. She grew up with her African-American mother and white stepfather, who was a member of the Philadelphia Italian Mafia. Jillian saw her first Mob hit when she was ten. 

While Jillian was in college studying communications, which included film classes, she worked as a reporter at the Wall Street Journal. Although, she had planned to continue her career as a journalist, it was the love of movies, and a promise she made to her Mafia stepfather on his death bed, that led Jillian into the world of cinema. 

Jillian considers herself a crime-solving expert and enthusiast. She learned her way around murder, death, and killings by taking courses and earning certifications in forensic psychology, forensic science, criminal psychology, and criminology. 

Jillian loves juggling writing books, films, Youtube content, and journalism.  Along with being a writer, director, producer, fight choreographer, and actor, Jillian is the CEO of Jillian Bullock Enterprises, LLC, a film and entertainment production company in Pennsylvania.

From 2007-2025, she was a screenwriting judge for the Set in Philadelphia Screenwriting Contest. Jillian is also a screenwriting instructor and script consultant. To keep her skills sharp, Jillian is always taking Masterclasses on writing, acting, and directing. 

To date Jillian has written two non-fiction books, her memoir, HERE I STAND and Health Is Made In The Kitchen. Her first crime thriller novel, Shadows of Love, Betrayal & Murder, will be published late 2025.

As a filmmaker, Jillian has written, directed and produced various films including A Sense of Purpose: Fighting For Our Lives, Touch With Your Eyes, and A Cup Full of Crazy. 



When Jillian’s not busy crafting suspenseful tales, you’ll find her training in mixed martial arts, boxing, yoga, kettlebells, high intensity interval, and cardio conditioning. She holds two black belts - one in Tae Kwon Do and the other in Wing Chun. With her extensive skills, she uses her talent as a fight chorographer on her films. 

As a transformation speaker, Jillian is in high demand to speak at organizations, corporations, agencies, fitness and health expos, and colleges. 

Giving back to the world, she contributes monthly donations to national charities including Shriner’s Hospital and St Jude Children’s Hospital.
