Miller's Girl director Jade Halley Bartlett

Miller's Girl is the only official credit that Jade Halley Bartlett has on IMDb, either as a writer or a director. However, she has been on Hollywood's radar since the script originally appeared on The Blacklist in 2016. In 2019 she was hired to write Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness for Marvel, however she was eventually replaced. She had been attached to write a handful of other scripts, but nothing that has made it to the screen as of yet.
