'Camping': Co-creator Jenni Konner says split with Lena Dunham was to 'find our independence'

Jenni Konner and Lena Dunham have been production partners for almost eight years, and have now parted ways to follow different paths after 'Camping'
PUBLISHED OCT 12, 2018

As the cast of 'Camping' sizzled the red carpet at the premiere of the show at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, co-creator Jenni Konner has spoken up about her split with her eight-year-old production partner, Lena Dunham. The 'Girls' duo's split came just a few days after the shooting for 'Camping', their latest (and probably last) show in July. However, both have stated that the split was mutual and mostly driven by their individual sense of creative freedom. 

Speaking to Variety, at the premiere on Wednesday, Konner spilled the beans that both she and Dunham were pretty happy about the split. She said, "We’re both so happy about it.. It’s such a positive step for both of us. It’s almost like just moving to another chapter rather than being sad about it."
