From the Bronx, Feldman identifies with a New York state of mind, despite having lived in L.A. for more than half her life. The third child and only girl born to first generation Americans, her perspective is imbued with a birthright sensitivity to societal hierarchies that’s led to a fascination with justice. “I’ve devoted my creative life to mastering the tapestry of skills required to transform ideas into cinematic, emotional experience. I believe story can change culture.”
