Six Feet Apart
Creator / Actor
LIRI NAVON is an Israeli writer, actress, and filmmaker. Liri got her training in writing and improv at Second City Chicago. Her pilot script, Cat Burglar, was a quarter-finalist at the PAGE Awards. The half-hour comedy/drama follows a security engineer with crippling social anxiety who quits her job to become a cat burglar. It is based on Liri’s own experience (with anxiety, not burglary). She is the creator of Barbie for Adults, a webseries that revolves around Barbie dolls with no self-esteem. The series premiered at The New Media Film Festival in Los Angeles. It was an official selection at festivals around the world as well as a part of an installation at DISJECTA Contemporary Art Center in Portland.
Liri and Lee Bader have been friends and collaborators for over seven years. Writing, directing, acting, and producing content, but until a few months ago, they hadn’t actually met. Lee was living in New York and Liri in Israel, and the two started chatting online through a creative Facebook group and have not stopped creating since. Their series Interwoven, a dramedy about two women who form a unique bond over a suicide prevention hotline call, was selected as a finalist for Blackpills’ writing competition and chosen as a contender to go into production by their digital company. Lee and Liri finally met in person a couple of months ago, and are already mid-production on a new Bread Break production.
