backstory.
Drew Feldman is a Jewish-American director and writer. He has directed network television shows, films, documentaries, animated series, commercials, and music videos.
Drew's films have been screened at over 20 film festivals, both in the US and abroad. His latest film, Pivot Pals, claimed 'Best of Fest' at the Rochester International Film Festival and is currently streaming on Omeleto. Touch of Grey, a feature screenplay he co-wrote with Derek Weissbein, landed on the Golden List in 2021.
On television, Drew directed episodes of Murder Made Me Famous, Price of Fame, and the documentary Johnny Cash: Road to Redemption for the REELZ Channel, as well as episodes of #TextMeWhenYouGetHome for the Lifetime Network. He also served as the showrunner for the second season of The Jewish Story on the Unpacked YouTube channel and directed videos featuring Prince EA and Austin Brown, which collectively accumulated more than 17 million views.
As a writer, Drew's narrative interest is dual-focused: delving into Jewish themes and financial sagas in ways that surprisingly (and sometimes not so surprisingly) intertwine.
In the Jewish realm, Drew is adapting Yossi Klein HaLevi's Like Dreamers into an audio drama and a TV series with Rakia Media, and developing Herzl, a movie-musical about Theodor Herzl with the Jewish Writers' Initiative. On the finance front, he is adapting Greg Steinmetz's American Rascal and the life of Tom Hardin "TipperX," one of the most prolific informants in securities fraud history.
Off screen, Drew has a background in theater, having worked as an actor both Off-Broadway and on a national tour, as well as a theater director professionally both in the US and Israel.
When he's not working, you can find him SUPing with his wife, reading philosophy, or geeking out about personal finance and systematic investing on FinTwit (FinX?) @TrendingValue.
Drew is a Drama League Directing Fellow and an alumnus of Oklahoma City University and the National Theater Institute.
