Director and Writer

bio

My second feature film, HairBrained, (2014) stars Brendan Fraser, Alex Wolff, Parker Posey, and Julia Garner.  My first feature The Oh In Ohio (2006) starred Parker Posey, Danny DeVito, Paul Rudd, Heather Graham and Liza Minnelli premiered at SXSW, and internationally at the Edinburgh Film Festival. Critic Wesley Morris of The Boston Globe called the film “one of the sweetest, smartest sex comedies I’ve ever seen.” My career began with a series of political satire promos for MTV  and I have continued making funny commercials all over globe for all of the worlds top ad agencies.   My current project entitled Conversation 16 is currently in development.

My love of film, comedy and storytelling began the close relationship I had with my father who escaped the nazi in Austria.  When he died I was 17 and while you never get over the loss of someone you love I have followed my passions to make work that brings joy and laughter.  It is my way to remembering him.   I live in Brooklyn.
