Personal life

Born in Washington, D.C., Goodman grew up acting and singing in the theater. At an early age, she was enrolled in advance drama classes at the Columbia School of Theatrical Arts.

Career

Early in her career, Goodman wrote, directed, and produced several award-winning digital shorts. Each received acclaim at film festivals worldwide, including Mix New York and Immaginaria.

The project was purchased by the Sundance Channel.

She got her first big break working on NBC Television's Earth 2, produced by Steven Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment.

Goodman went on to direct and produce Holding Trevor, a darkly comedic, coming of age film. Regent Releasing acquired the North American rights to the film at its first Los Angeles festival premiere. Regent Entertainment eventually bought the worldwide rights.

Most recently, Goodman directed and produced the romantic comedy, Love or Whatever, released by TLA in the United States and Europe.

She has won multiple audience awards for her films, including the Berlin Festival and the Freiberg Festival. Her original script, Mongoose8, won the Panasonic Filmmakers' Award. The Hollywood Reporter named Goodman one of the "Five in Focus" film directors.
