Panel Discussion – Daisy Friedman in conversation with Superfest Emcee and 2023 Juror Matthew Alaniz.
Join us for a panel and Q&A session with filmmaker, writer, and director Daisy Friedman, immediately following the Superfest screenings on Saturday at the Freight and Salvage. The discussion will be moderated by Superfest Emcee and 2023 Juror Matthew Alaniz.
Daisy Friedman, a disabled writer and director based in New York City, is currently pursuing her undergraduate degree in Film Studies at Barnard College of Columbia University. She is passionate about delving into the intricate dynamics of embodiment, disfigurement, and the desirability of underrepresented communities through the medium of film. Daisy’s directorial debut, “As You Are,” was honored with the Best of Festival Award at Superfest 2023.
