Stefanie Abel Horowitz directed theater for a decade before pivoting to film. Her first short film, Up North, premiered on Short of the Week in 2017. Her second short film, sometimes, i think about dying, premiered at the 2019 Sundance Film Festival and is currently traveling the world on the Sundance Shorts Tour. She is an alum of the 2019 New Voices Sundance Lab. And her essay He's Your Destiny. Just Be Patient. was published as part of The New York Time's Modern Love column in June 2019. Abel Horowitz is repped by Circle of Confusion and Verve.
In 2013, in a dark theater in New York’s lower east side I directed a play called killers, written by Kevin Armento and starring Katy Wright-Mead. The play told of a death-obsessed woman, Fran, who didn’t know much about living. It was a little scary, but also funny and kind of sweet. It stuck with me and 5 years later I’ve turned it into a short film.
I hope you like, and want for Fran as much as I do!
