Oran Zegman is an Israeli filmmaker and an alumna of the esteemed American Film Institute, whose work is inspired by her upbringing with a large Israeli-Greek-Polish family. She gravitates toward dark comedy; specifically finding the humor in dark, tragic and awkward subject matters.

​

Oran recently made her feature debut with the critically acclaimed HONOR SOCIETY for Paramount + and Awesomeness Films, starring Angourie Rice and Gaten Matarazzo. 

The New York Times raved: “Honor Society comes out of the gate flashing a formal and thematic sophistication so dazzling it might take you a while to realize it’s actually a Young Adult movie."

​

Oran is currently developing the feature length adaptation of her short musical film, MARRIAGE MATERIAL for Chernin Entertainment and Endeavor Content (aka Fifth Season).

The musical short, a first of its kind at AFI,  was acquired by Fox Searchlight and a Student Academy Awards finalist. 

​

Most recently, Oran directed a block of episodes for the Paramount + series SCHOOL SPIRITS starring Peyton List.
