What was your first professionally directed work and when was it?
Good One is my first feature-length film. We shot it in the summer of 2023.
How did you get into directing?
I came to directing through writing. I was writing screenplays and realized I really wanted to be directing them myself. I made several short films and met a lot of collaborators that way. I learned a lot through the process of trying things out and experimenting, and collaborating with talented people!
What is your most recent project?
Good One is my first feature film and most recent project. It’s about a teenage girl who goes on a backpacking trip with her dad and his oldest friend in the Catskills. We premiered it at the Sundance Film Festival in January, and Metrograph Pictures released it this past August.
What is the best part of being a director?
Writing can be pretty lonely, so I love how collaborative directing is!
Tell us about your background (i.e., where did you grow up? Past jobs?)
I mostly grew up in L.A, and lived in New York for about 12 years after graduating college. I worked in fashion for much of my 20s before transitioning into writing and filmmaking.
