Dedi Felman is a writer / director / producer born and raised in the wilds of New Jersey.

She loves criminally-minded characters, unapologetically flawed females, and whip-smart women on adventures. Her favorite stories confront human truths with a sense of humor.

Previously a senior editor in Big Four publishing, Dedi maintains strong connections to the book industry and enjoys collaborating with authors on their book adaptations. Dedi attended the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting and was in the inaugural class of the HBO Access Writing Fellowship, where she discovered her passion for directing. She was selected as a Blackmagic Collective Directing Actors Fellow in 2022 and a Blackmagic Collective Producing Fellow in 2023.

Her latest short, Take Good Care, a sci-fi dramedy about aging, ambition, family, and love, premiered at the Oscar-qualifying Hollyshorts Film Festival, screened across the country, and won Best Sci-Fi short at the Garden State Film Festival.

Dedi’s recently shot her first vertical. For exciting news on her latest activities in this exciting, rapidly-growing space, check out Lede Entertainment.
