Raquel Cedar

Raquel Cedar is a Brooklyn based comedy writer and director with a passion for the Kid Space. As the daughter of a character actor who read bedtime stories like he was at a call back for Dark Crystal, Cedar fell in love with storytelling and building out-of-this world sets and characters at a young age. She received her BFA in writing and directing at NYU Tisch School of the Arts then spent the next ten years working as a union prop assistant on the sets of Boardwalk Empire, West Side Story, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, to name a few. Cedar's professional art department experience has made her a distinctly visual and imaginative storyteller. She received screenwriting accolades as a top 3 finalist in the 2021 Cinestory Foundation TV Fellowship Competition for her live action preschool+ script, Madame Pellegrino. Additionally, her half hour comedy, Edith from Brighton Beach was a semi-finalist in the 2020 Shore Scripts TV Pilot Contest and the 2021 Screencraft TV Pilot Script Competition.
