Shari writes dramatic stories through a comedic lens. The first
short film she wrote and directed, WILL YOU TAKE THIS DOG?,
won best female content creator at The Bowery Film Festival and
has screened at the San Francisco Indie Film Fest, New Ohio Film
Festival, NY City Web Fest, and many others. As a writer, she has
been a cohort at the esteemed “The Writers Lab” (class of 2022).
Her scripts have placed in competitions such as AFF, The Big
Apple Film Festival, and Final Draft’s Big Break Contest. She is
published in SHE PERSISTED, a book of monologues written by
women playwrights by Applause Books. With over 30 years of
experience in front of the camera, Shari is now stepping behind it
with everything she's learned and absorbed. She is excited for audiences to see DOUBLE HAPPINESS, her new short film she co-wrote and directed on festival screens everywhere. She lives in NYC with her husband and rescue wire-hair dachshund, Dr. Watson.
