Amanda Danziger is the founder of Ferasha Films and filmmaker. Her passion for film and videography started in 2008 when she founded an independent film company, Ferasha Films, based in Philadelphia, PA. It all began when she set out to film a documentary about street kids in Rwanda called "Umuryango." In 2009 she filmed in Kolkata, India ("Threads of Hope") on scholarship from the McKnight Fund documenting the lives of underclass women at a fair trade business called ConneXions. Her compassion for the poor and visual arts talents have brought attention and awareness to the needs of the poor worldwide.
Amanda is a recent graduate from Drexel University with a Bachelor's degree in Entertainment & Arts Management, a concentration in Film & Video, and a minor in Business Administration. She knows what it takes to create a production regardless of the size of the project.
