I was so honored to give this presentation alongside acclaimed academic Nechumi Yaffe, one of the first ultra orthodox female tenured academics in the world. We both shared our work about the extreme ends of the American Jewish class experience - I showed pieces from BOUNTY exploring the Jewish 1%, and Nechumi shared her fascinating research around Haredi poverty. It was such a fun, edgy, alive conversation, and, thanks to zoom, we recorded it! Please contact me to receive viewing info for this digital talk, presented by the New Jewish Culture Fellowship and Congregation Beth Elohim.
Thrilled to have my latest BOUNTY series video collage, The Woman Who Heard Too Much, included in the 2020 Indie Short Fest! This piece transforms a suspenseful scene from The Man Who Knew Too Much into the story of a Jewish mother, played by Doris Day, who becomes emotionally overwrought at a live performance of Fiddler On The Roof.
BOUNTY: The Age of Lefkowitz and Dangerous Opinions, my film collage short that will premiere this year at Washington Jewish Film Festival in D.C., has a new poster!
I’m thrilled to announce that two of my video collages, The Age of Lefkowitz and Dangerous Opinions, will premiere at the 2020 JxJ Washington Jewish Film + Musical Festival in D.C.!
I’m so excited to announce this piece!! It has been years in the making. This is my sculptural portrait of Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, titled Forgive Us. The materials include an antique platter owned by my family, 18K gold, and my late grandma Buddy’s gold teeth. Really. Click here to learn more!
I had so much fun yesterday being interviewed on Virginia This Morning! Thank you to everyone at the station for making my first ever tv studio interview such a great experience.
This last Sunday night was one of the most memorable, fun, overwhelming, inspiring, and touching events of my professional life. I can’t say thank you enough to the NYJFF, to Lincoln Center, and to all the incredible people who came out. I am so grateful for this experience, and I’ll honestly never forget it.

Many thanks to the Hollywood Screenplay Contest for giving my new short screenplay, Mother Daughter Talk, the 2019 Gold Prize for comedy!!!
Tablet Magazine has published my recent essay, The Jewish 1%. This piece delves into BOUNTY, my experiences growing up in the Jewish 1%, the need for a new discourse about Jews and money, and the time I attended summer camp with Ivanka Trump. Seriously.
Thrilled to be an LA Film Awards Screenwriting Finalist!
Thanks to all the friends and family who came out for the opening of Emotional Labor at American Jewish University in LA! This is my first time exhibiting on the west coast, and I’m very excited.
Exciting news!! My new short screenplay, Mother Daughter Talk, has been selected by the Los Angeles Film Awards!
I’m so thrilled to share that I’ve been selected as one of six artists for the 2019/2020 cohort of the New Jewish Culture Fellowship!! NJCF provides support and community for artists making risk-taking Jewish arts and culture.
Since I started making work about Jewish wealth I’ve been receiving quite a bit of push-back from members of my tribe, so it’s particularly lovely to receive Jewish support for my current practice. I can’t wait to get started!!!
Very excited to announce that I’ll be exhibiting The Age of Lefkowitz, one of my video pieces from BOUNTY, at the American Jewish University this fall! If you find yourself in Los Angeles August 25th please join me for the opening.
