About

Parker Fenady is a filmmaker and honors graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Her directorial debut, I Didn’t Like You, premiered as the Opening Centerpiece at NFFTY 2025, where it was named a Programmer’s Pick and received a Jury Award nomination. The film went on to screen at the American Cinematheque’s PROOF Festival, where it was pitched as a series, and was selected for Tasting Menu, a curated indie pilot platform. It has since been featured by Antigravity Academy, Cinegogue, and CAPE. Following its festival run, the film premiered online with Film Shortage in 2026, where it quickly reached over half a million viewers, and screened at Brain Dead Studios as part of 50/50 Comedy. Fenady began her career in feature and television development at Heyday Films (Marriage Story, Barbie, Paddington, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) and has since produced several Oscar-qualifying short films. She currently serves as an Associate Producer on a half-hour comedy series for Paramount+. A SAG-AFTRA actor, she made her feature acting debut in a 2024 Lionsgate release and has contributed voice work to Sundance-featured films including Lurker, Dìdi, and Little Death. Alongside a completed pilot adaptation of I Didn't Like You, she is developing her debut feature, Aftercare, and filming a proof-of-concept short this summer. Across her work, she is drawn to stories of complex desire, identity, and the ways young women come of age through one another.
