A 6’ 2” former collegiate athlete, Rachael fell into production while achieving her BFA at Colorado College. There, her work in the theatre gained momentum, leading her to move to Los Angeles in 2010.
In 2011, Rachael created RM Productions, under which she has built a body of work as an award-winning director, writer and producer. Through various projects, she has had the pleasure of working with talent such as Gina Hecht (Seinfeld), Rob Brownstein (Argo), Elisa Gabrielli (Madagascar), and James Kyson (Heroes). She has also served as Coordinator for Skylight Theater's LabWorks, the company’s first-ever Playlab Festival to exhibit new works by up-and-coming writers.
In 2012, she received the Young Artist Development Award from Chaspen Foundation for the Arts. Her directorial debut Highway 15 garnered awards at festivals across the country, including Best Direction. Most recently, her short My Brother’s Keeper won Best Short Film at the Los Angeles Spotlight Film Festival, and her piece Chénmò de péngyou was recognized at the Best Shorts Competition and IndieFilm Fest Awards. She is currently in development with Oscar-winning producer Fred Roos to direct her first feature, Lost for Words.
