Bicoastal Greenpoint Pictures has brought Leah Donnenberg Ramia on board as executive producer.
With experience as an agency producer, line producer, and executive producer for short-form content, including commercials, shorts, and music videos, Donnenberg Ramia has honed a well-rounded, holistic approach to the craft of production before joining Greenpoint. She’s worked on lauded campaigns, including a Super Bowl spot for Coinbase that took home a Super Clio, and won a Grand Prix at Cannes Lions. Last year, Donnenberg Ramia collaborated with prominent brands such as Meta and Google. The project for Meta, “Skate Ghana,” won the Grand Prix at Ciclope, Best in Show at AICP, and was nominated for an Emmy.
On top of her commercial work, Donnenberg Ramia’s short films have screened at leading festivals, including the Tribeca Film Festival, Palm Springs Shortfest, and Fantasia Festival. Donnenberg Ramia also co-founded SLMBR PRTY Films in 2016, a community for women filmmakers and content studio, inspired by the Women’s March. Although no longer a partner, Donnenberg Ramia remains active in the SLMBR PRTY community, participating in and volunteering for events, panels, and screenings.
“I have always gravitated towards those who test longstanding conventions and seek to improve, reinvent, and shape the industry, and Greenpoint has embraced this ethos since its founding,” said Donnenberg Ramia. “I’ve long admired how they pioneered longform branded content, trailblazing an entire category and widening the commercial production market.”
“Leah is a talented producer with a new wave spirit,” said Tatiana Rudzinski, exec producer, partner at Greenpoint Pictures. “She also has a deep passion for filmmaking and an in-depth pulse on the industry that’s not easy to come by every day.”
