SASHA EDEN Producer and Co-curator

Sasha Eden is an Actor, Producer, Public Speaker, as well as the Co-Founder, Executive Producer and Creative Director of WET Productions. Sasha began to develop her career in producing, after a brief internship at Bernie Telsey Casting, where she met mentors, Anna Deavere Smith and Daryl Roth, who inspired her to develop and produce her own work.

In 1997 Sasha began producing commercials at BBDONY, where she stayed until 2001, producing national commercials for Pizza Hut, Duracell, and Snickers. By 1999, Sasha was eager to combine her newly developed craft as a producer with her craft as an actor, while creating material that honored her commitment to promoting gender equality. The culmination of these three passions resulted in the creation of WET productions. Over the past 10 years Sasha has served as WET’s Creative Director and Executive Producer, developing and producing scripts for the theater, film, and television, all written by women, while creating new employment opportunities for women in the media.

Sasha has developed and produced all of WET’s World Premiere productions, events, and created its citywide outreach program for teenage girls, WET’s Risk Takers Film Series.
WET’s Risk Takers Film Series is a free media literacy and leadership program for NYC teenage girls, designed to teach girls how to look at the media with a critical eye, break-down stereotypes, and strengthen their self-esteem. Sasha is the host and moderator of the Q&A portion of WET’s Risk Takers Film Series, which features intimate conversations with inspiring guest Risk Takers including Keri Russell, Frances McDormand, Mary-Louise Parker, Nicole Holofcener, Kerry Washington, Audra McDonald and Tracie Thoms.

Sasha is a frequent speaker on panels focused on Women in the Entertainment industry and Girls’ Self-Esteem, a guest lecturer at various colleges and high schools throughout New York City, a producing consultant for New York City artists and non-profits, an adjunct professor at NYU's School of Continuing Education, and privately teaches her self designed class, with theater director/producer Carl Forsman, “Developing and Producing Your Own Opportunities: Producing Theater, Film, Commercials, and Events.”

Sasha is a proud member of WET’s Board of Directors and The Advisory Board for The Adrienne Shelly Foundation.
