Where is Ella Rosenblatt Now? After a recent documentary, we discuss Jay Rosenblatt’s daughter and where she is now.
If I am honest, the work of Jay Rosenblatt has passed me by. Jay has been making experimental films and documentaries for decades and is an internationally renowned artist, working independently since 1980.
His website explains, “his work explores our emotional and psychological cores. They are personal in their content yet universal in their appeal.”
Jay has been nominated twice for Academy awards, and his work has received many other accolades, with eight of his films being premiered at The Sundance Film Festival, and he has had a working relationship with HBO for many years.

His latest work, How Do You Measure a Year, is a short and poignant work with an immersive premise, simple yet enthralling, personal and revealing, and also nominated for an Oscar.
Jay films his daughter every year on her birthday, asking the same questions, receiving new answers each year, and covering subjects such as favorite treats and dreams.
The simple idea is almost too perfect and somehow conveys all the nuances of the father-daughter relationship in an easily digestible format that you cannot help but be quietly moved by.
The film is a time-lapse of the daughter Ella. As viewers, we become almost voyeuristic as we watch Ella change from toddler to sulky teen to a kind of maturity, with the last recorded birthday interview taking part in her eighteenth celebration.

Ella attended Pitzer College. The college is a private liberal arts college and is located in California.
Pitzer is known for its social justice culture and experimental pedagogical approach.
