EXCLUSIVE<\/strong>: Prolific writer, playwright and director Sigal Avin, who created the Israeli psychological thriller series Losing Alice,<\/em> has signed with CAA.<\/p>\n Avin created, wrote and directed the eight-episode series Losing Alice<\/em>, which premiered in Israel in June 2020. Shortly after its debut, Apple TV+ acquired global rights to the neo-noir thriller as part of a co-production deal with Israel’s Dori Media in association with HOT. Losing Alice<\/em> premiered on the streaming service in January to strong reviews.<\/p>\n Using flashbacks and flashforwards, Losing Alice<\/em> tells the story of aging film director, Alice (Ayelet Zurer), and her growing obsession with a young screenwriter, Sophie (Lihi Kornowski), whose dark and troubled script appears more truth than fiction.<\/p>\n Avin also created, wrote, and directed That’s Harassment<\/em>, a series of short films that depict the dynamic behind sexual harassment. The shorts launched on Facebook pre the #MeToo movement, and went viral. From there, Avin teamed with David Schwimmer and Mazdack Rassi of Milk Studios to produce an American version. In 2018, the #ThatsHarassment campaign aired with support from Amazon, CBS, The CW, Fox, Freeform, Hulu, Showtime, and Starz.<\/p>\n Additionally, Avin’s comedy series Irreversible<\/em> was acquired by ABC to adapt for the U.S., and her show Mythological E<\/em>x was previously adapted in the U.S. by CBS and went to series as The Ex List,<\/em> as well as in Mexico as Mi Lista De Exes<\/em> for Televisa.<\/p>\n Avin began her career in theatre, writing and directing plays. She continues to be repped by Adam Berkowitz at Lenore Entertainment Group.<\/p>\nRead More About:<\/h2>\n
