Dina Waxman started making films in high school, but like all great rebel teens, she dropped out of NYU film school to pursue a career as a video store clerk. This led to an epic adventure in the mysterious, death-defying job known as Script Supervising, which she did side by side with such directors as David Fincher, Michael Mann, Spike Jonze, Wong Kar Wai, and John Frankenheimer, among countless others.

After ten feature films, two TV series’, and literally hundreds of commercials as script supervisor, Dina made her way to writing and directing full time.

She is currently in post-production on her first feature, The Mtn of My Dreams, which she has written, directed, produced and edited.
