Gianna Palminteri is ecstatic to be a part of the WESTCHESTER WOMEN’s SUMMIT and host of Coffee Tawk. Supporting women and their causes are of great importance to Gianna as is mentoring young women and actors. In her career Gianna began her production company MGRP Productions after producing and acting in her first feature Ghetto Dawg which was subsequently sold to several cable networks. Currently Gianna is in pre-production for FRACKVILLE, an indie feature film that she is both producing and writing. After Ghetto Dawg she began developing, producing and acting in several independent short films, The Obscure Brother, Tracks of Color, and the Student Academy Award nominated The Bronx Balletomane and directed her latest short film – Blended.
Creating original content and working with young film makers became a passion as MGRP Prod became the springboard for working with & mentoring new and student writers, directors, producers and actors. Gianna then helped develop and co- produced the feature A Fish Story, a successful film festival entry and now on Netflix. It is her passion to nurture and produce the next generation in film, tv and theatre. She was also by her husband Chazz Palminteri’s side during the development and production of A Bronx Tale the Musical. Some projects currently in development are television series Hollywood Mom, the films Mates and Club Kids.
Gianna is a mentor and teacher with Broadway Theatre Project and is the director and coach for her college consulting company – The College Audition Academy. It is with great pleasure that she joins The Westchester Woman’s Summit 2025.
