CLIENT: FREE PEOPLE
From 2015-2019, I was a regular contributor to FREE PEOPLE’s online journal BLDG 25, conducting interviews with pioneers in the holistic wellness industry (on ways to take care of oneself even on a budget!) and candidly sharing my own mental health & environmental wellness journey.

SCREENWRITING
My most recent screenplay, “BARLEY DAVIDSON” which was co-written with my mother Suzy Friedman has just won at the HOUSTON COMEDY FILM FESTIVAL (2023!)
SYNOPSIS:
A tightly wound Orthodox Jewish man accidentally ingests pscilocybin mushroom soup and joins a gentile biker gang.
My second screenplay LONERS TOGETHER (2015) won acceptance into the annual Independent Film Week Project Forum, hosted by IFP, publisher of Filmmaker Magazine.
SYNOPSIS:
Alpha, a 29 year old hermit obsessed with attaining immortality lives in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn with her sun-worshipping mother Susannah and an assortment of unusual pets.
When Alpha finds out her mother is secretly battling cancer, her quest for youth is put on hold and she finally begins to live in the moment, aided by the help of an elder-obsessed photographer she meets on the N.Y.C. subway. [Watch one scene HERE].
My screenwriting for THE COLOR WHEEL was nominated for the John Cassavetes Independent Spirit Award.
*
This nomination was especially exciting because I was invited to attend The Independent Spirit Awards after-party and accidentally witnessed fellow-party attendee, celebrated astronaut Buzz Aldrin hold up his cellphone and press “Buy Now” on an Ebay Auction for an AIRPLANE while surrounded by a gaggle of beautiful young blond women who cheered.

Client: MTV NEWS
In 2015-2016, I developed a variety of (sometimes humorous) on-air pitches, on-air interstitials (60 second advertisements) and published web articles for MTVNews.com on the topics of
climate change, environmental justice and social welfare.
