BIOGRAPHY

"Assistant Directors are the unifiers on set. We co-create the set culture and make sure it is a healthy and welcoming environment for everyone"

​

Felicia is an independent filmmaker, documentarian and multi-disciplinary artist, with a passion for social transformation. She is part German, part Iranian, born in Switzerland and calls Slovakia, Italy, Canada and the United States home. Being brought up in a cultural mosaic contributed to Felicia’s desire to tell stories from a young age. She uses filmmaking to explore new narratives, galvanize change, foster community-building and inspire a generation of world citizens.

​

Felicia's directorial work includes fullstop, a short film she co-wrote and co-directed about a middle schooler’s first period, which was selected for the Los Angeles International Children’s Film Festival. She also co-directed Cast Aside the Clouds, a love story set in Iran, which is currently in post production. When not directing, she enjoys working as an Assistant Director (AD) to contribute to projects that amplify underrepresented voices. She has ADed for over 30 short films and she was a research PA on the Emmy-winning documentary series HOSTAGES on HBO.

 

Felicia graduated in May 2021 from NYU Tisch School of the Arts with a BFA in Film & Television and a minor in Business of Entertainment, Media and Technology. She is currently based in New York City.
