A veteran dramatic television director, Rachel Feldman wrote and directed LILLY, her first theatrical feature film, starring Oscar nominated actor Patricia Clarkson, John Benjamin Hickey and Thomas Sadoski, now streaming on NETFLIX. Molly Haskell calls LILLY, “One magnificent movie.” Variety writes that it’s, “One of the best overlooked films of 2025.”

Feldman’s recent television credits include multiple episodes of: “Blue Bloods,” “Criminal Minds,” “The Rookie” and the pilot and first season of the Netflix series, “The Baxters.” Early in her career, she had the great pleasure to direct classics such as: “Doogie Howser M.D.,” “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” “Picket Fences,” “The Commish,” and “Sisters.” Feldman also directed genre movies, “She’s No Angel” for Lifetime Television and “Witchcraft III” for the SyFy Channel.

As a screenwriter who creates worlds in genres from dark to light, Feldman’s shingle, DollFace Films, is dedicated to the development of female-forward features and series that challenge the status quo for women and girls. DollFace screenplays, “Love Notes” and “Recipe for a Perfect Christmas” were produced by Lifetime Television, other screenplays have been optioned by Marc Platt Prods, Mark Canton’s Cinelou, Lakeshore Ent, eOne, Double Nickel Entertainment and ABCFamily. Feldman’s spec pilot, KINKS, won two WGA awards, as well as Screencraft’s Best Pilot, Breaking Through the Lens and CannesSeries awards.

Early in her film career, Feldman worked as a storyboard artist for well-known directors on studio pictures. Her degrees are from Sarah Lawrence College, Parsons School of Design and NYU Grad Film. Feldman was a child actor with a thriving career, best known for voicing Lucy in Peanuts animation.

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.”
