Here's your chance to sit down, virtually,  with Rachel Feldman, the acclaimed writer and director behind LILLY, the award-winning Netflix feature that Variety called "one of the best overlooked films of 2025." This one-hour virtual consultation is a rare opportunity to receive direct, personalized guidance from a seasoned Hollywood filmmaker with decades of experience across television and film.

Feldman's career spans more than 75 hours of series television, including multiple episodes of Blue Bloods, The Rookie, and Criminal Minds, as well as the pilot and first season of Netflix's The Baxters. Her feature LILLY, starring Oscar-nominated actress Patricia Clarkson, earned Best of the Fest at the Palm Springs International Film Festival and is now streaming on Netflix. Earlier in her career, Feldman served as a storyboard artist for directors Peter Yates and Brian De Palma, taught directing in the MFA program at USC's School of Cinematic Arts, and served as Chair Emeritus of the Women's Steering Committee of the Directors Guild of America,  a résumé that speaks to both her craft and her commitment to the filmmaking community.

The winner will work with Feldman to tailor the session to their needs, choosing from 3 areas of focus:

• PREP — Help a director prepare for their next shoot, including the art of the well-planned director's notebook
• WRITE — Discovering the next story you want to tell and finding your authentic voice
• CAREER — Broad professional guidance from one of Hollywood's most experienced working directors

Whether you're an emerging filmmaker or an industry professional looking for a creative reset, this conversation with Rachel Feldman offers insight that simply cannot be found in a classroom.
