About the Guests

DEENA KASHPER (Writer, Director, Producer)

Deena Kashper graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in Political Science. Soon after, she began creating award-winning commercials and branded entertainment for companies including Miracle Whip, PepsiCo-Aquafina, and TMZ. Deena's most recent executive producing and directing credits include comedic series for Hearst, Cosmopolitan, and the American Heart Association and her digital series for Women in Film premiered at the 2017 Crystal Lucy Awards.

In 2016, Kashper directed and executive produced/co-wrote the webseries, Cannabis Moms Club, which was lauded by NPR as one of “The Best Webseries on the Internet.” Vanity Fair compared its “hilarious,” “insular, stylized absurdity” to an Elaine May monologue. Her most recent short film, How to Survive a Breakup, is available on Amazon and streaming on Condé Nast’s The Scene. The short won the Audience Award at its premiere at the 2015 LA ComedyFest and screened to sold-out crowds at the 2016 Santa Barbara Film Festival. Its debut at the Palm Springs International ShortFest led to an international distribution deal with MagnetFilm and partnerships with Tribeca Films and United Airlines. The comedy pilot, Thirty*ish*, which Deena co-wrote, directed and produced, made its premiere in 2013 at NewFilmmakers Festival in LA and won Best TV Pilot at the Mexico International Film Festival. Deena is currently in pre-production on her original feature film, A Broad Alone, shooting in the fall of 2025 in Italy.
