Her work began as hybrid spoken word performance and projections for a live audience, it now combines a variety of filmic languages, ranging from soap opera to experimental and underground filmmaking, from sci-fi to musicals. Her work tackles very human content and is often bleakly comic.
"I like to explore unexpected processes of sense-making. My narratives are often fractured, absurdist--generated via dream-logic and increasingly experimental methodologies, inspired by odd corners of British culture, driven by the urge to tell."
"Jennet Thomas is a zealous god-devil, who constructs bizarre narrative worlds in which we can recognize the pull of gravity, the attraction of belief or the logic of causality, but these forces are somehow reconfigured to describe a place that is way off the map of normality, perhaps with one foot in the realm of the paranormal. And yet Thomas suggests the near-feasibility of the absurd by expressing messages from alternative dimensions, bizarre social codes and accounts of recent cultural history through everyday means. Sausages, sporting trophies, lengths of string and packages sent through the post are the tools with which normal looking people conduct their peculiar activities in community halls, supermarket car parks, back gardens and nicely kept living rooms. The bizarre, Thomas seems to suggest, is a close relative of the ordinary."

"Not only is the world stranger than we think, but her films are final proof that the world may even be stranger than we CAN think."
--Director of the Nomad Videofilm Festival, 2000
"A wild and bewildering affront to common civilized Cinema."
--Time Out, London, 2000
"Barmy, baffling and weirdly funny."
