After making her living for years as an advertising creative director, Amy shot her first documentary in 2002. BEAUTY SCHOOL, a portrait of the New York School of Dog Grooming, aired on The Short List and The Documentary Channel after screening at Hot Docs, The Atlanta Film Festival, The Woodstock Film Festival and Edinburgh International. In the winter of 2003, Amy’s dad invited her to a beauty pageant at a muskrat skinning competition and the idea for her first feature-length film was born. MUSKRAT LOVELY premiered at the Hamptons International Film Festival and was broadcast on the 2006/2007 season of the award-winning PBS series Independent Lens. Amy is currently in post-production on LAST DAY OF THE ZIPPER, a project that chronicles the rezoning of Coney Island.
