Zoe Eisenberg is a writer, producer and director on the big island of Hawai’i. She is a 2019 Creative Lab Hawai’i Producing Fellow, 2020 Creative Lab Hawai’i Directing Fellow, and 2021 Hawai’i Women in Filmmaking Fellow, as well as an active member of both Film Fatales and Women in Film. Her work has played on Hawaiian Airlines and shown theatrically across the state of Hawai’i. As a screenwriter, Zoe has placed in the Page Awards and the Austin Film Festival Script Competition.
Zoe is the co-founder and Executive Director of the Made in Hawaii Film Festival and Aerial Arts Hawaii, an aerial circus performing arts company.
In response to the pandemic in 2020, she co-created Live From the Empty Palace, a weekly performance series featuring local musicians, circus artists and alternative talent performing in the empty Hilo Palace theater. Her work as a producer on that series earned her a nomination for the 2021 Nā Hōkū Hanohano Awards (Hawaiian Grammys). In 2021, she opened the circus training and performance space The Airhouse, located in downtown Hilo.
As a producer, she is looking for Hawai’i-based, female-focused (in front of and behind the camera) and queer/LGBTQ-focused stories.
