Rachel Gordon is currently a freelance marketing and distribution consultant for educational videos, working with independent documentary filmmakers to expand their audience. Current clients range in theme from disabilities issues to artist profiles and architectural history.

Rachel is also involved in video production, as a producer, production manager, and director. She has worked with feature films and produced/directed short films for the past ten years. She recently finished producing the horror feature film The Blood Shed, to be released by Heretic Films. She is also writing a feature film about women’s fear of commitment, and is currently in post-production on a short based on the full length script. Having grown enamored with documentaries as well, she is also developing a film about children of gay and lesbian parents who came out after having children (like herself).

She worked for the Anti-Defamation League running their resource catalog of educational films and books dealing with racism, bigotry, hate crimes, and anti-Semitism. Before joining the ADL, she assisted the National Film Board of Canada in distributing their documentary and animated films in the United States to socially-aware organizations, schools, and libraries.

She participated in several of the 48 Hour Project contests. One of the final products, which she directed and produced, Writing on the Wall, was chosen as the Best of New York and is part of the Annual Program Without Frontiers based in San Francisco. It was also an official selection of the San Francisco Short Film Festival and screened at Reel Venus Film Festival. Another project she directed, Bench Warmers, screened at Valley Film Festival in Los Angeles and Miami Short Film Festival. The satirical short she assisted with entitled The Water Cooler and a documentary about Asian American police women in New York called Tea & Justice have also recently been completed. Her initial directorial video project from 2002, Room Tone, screened at festivals across the United States. She is a member of New York Women in Film and Television.

Rachel provided script coverage for over five years, for such companies as Tribeca Productions, Open City Films, Walden Media, and Apex Entertainment. She also contributes film reviews and articles to filmcritic.com, Cinemad, and CultureDose.net, the latter a site she helped found and for which she still aids in business operations. Interviewees she has profiled include Campbell Scott, D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus, and Jay Craven.
