I'm Rebeca Ofek, a writer and director of Romanian descent, born in Tel Aviv and based in Berlin. My journey in film and television began in 2010, when I moved to Berlin to study directing at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin (dffb). During my time there, I had the chance to take masterclasses with inspiring filmmakers like Claire Denis, John Waters, and Rafi Pitts. I also wrote and directed several fictional short films, which were produced by Arte and RBB.

In 2014, I returned to Tel Aviv to work as a journalist and senior news producer for the international news channel i24news. While there, I developed a political feature film script with director Ziska Riemann and Sam Spiegel graduate Noa Peleg, which received support from the FFA script funding under the title "TRANSIT LOUNGE." In 2018, I moved back to Berlin to shoot my first feature film, "JESSY," which I co-wrote and which was also produced by RBB and supported by Medienboard. "JESSY" was screened at several festivals and received an honorable mention at the Achtung Berlin Festival in 2022. Alongside Esther Becker, I co-wrote the miniseries "SCHWESTERN" (working title) for Studio Zentral, and I'm excited to be directing it as well. Right now, I'm working on my debut feature film, "WIE DIE GORILLAS," an adaptation of Esther Becker's successful feminist coming-of-age novel, which is supported by FFA script funding. Most recently, I completed shooting the popular ZDF Neo series "Doppelhaushälfte" as the lead director for its 4th season.
