Monica J.Y. Lederman

Monica JY Lederman has a mission. Born with a passion for art, she views filmmaking as the Ultimate Medium to create with. She was born with a passion for color and would spend (and still does) hours upon hours filling journals with her drawings and designs. She bounces to the beat of her own drummer, and has always followed her own instincts. Studying art throughout her youth, she decided to graduate high school a year early so that she could enroll in the School of Visual Arts' film program. Living in Los Angeles, Monica worked as a set dresser and returned to school and studied fine art, followed by Interior Design at UCLA's Extension Program. She has worked continually as an Interior Decorator, and Design Project Manager. After returning to their East Coast origins in New York, the Ledermans produced their feature film, "Mo", together. As first-time filmmakers, the couple was able to bring their skills and experiences into alignment.
