Eden Wurmfeld is an Emmy-nominated fiction and documentary producer and director who is committed to ushering compelling characters and moving stories to the screen. As a filmmaker, Eden is not genre or subject driven; rather it is the heart, soul, and message of a particular story that give Eden the drive to bring a film to fruition.
Eden recently produced the narrative feature WHAT COMES AROUND, with director and producing partner Amy Redford which premiered at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. In 2020, she completed two documentaries: CHASING CHILDHOOD (DOC NYC 2020, Abramorama) and THE BIG SCARY "S" WORD (Hot Docs 2020, Greenwich Entertainment).
Previously, Eden produced the Netflix Original SAVING CAPITALISM, featuring Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich, which launched worldwide in 2017. Among her other documentary credits are NO IMPACT MAN (Sundance, Oscilloscope), LEFT ON PURPOSE (Gunpowder & Sky), MY SO-CALLED ENEMY (PBS), and ROMEO ROMEO (PBS).
Eden’s first documentary effort, the critically acclaimed SUNSET STORY, aired nationally on PBS Independent Lens in 2005 and won the Jury Award at the Tribeca Film Festival as well as the Audience Award at LAFF.
Eden’s earlier fiction films include the award-winning indie hit KISSING JESSICA STEIN (Fox Searchlight), PUCCINI FOR BEGINNERS, which premiered in competition at Sundance 2006, THE HAMMER (The Weinstein Company) and SWINGERS (Miramax).
