About
With a Master of Fine Arts in Film/Cinema/Video Studies from Tel Aviv University and a Bachelor's degree in Multi/Interdisciplinary Studies from NYU Gallatin, I have cultivated a diverse skill set in the creative industry. My professional journey began as a Junior Assistant in Video Production at Scott Rudin Productions, where I honed my technical skills. I then transitioned to a Location Scout role at Miramax, contributing to Alexander Payne's film, The Holdovers. As a Video Editor at Offline Films, I worked on various music videos, showcasing my editing prowess. In 2020, I founded SILVERLINING, where I serve as Chief Creative Officer, driving creative direction and business operations. My experience as an Associate Producer at Danger Danger Inc allowed me to collaborate with industry professionals like Zach Shields. My interdisciplinary education and varied experience underscore my commitment to innovation and storytelling in the film industry.
