Writer/Director/Producer

after, she began creating award-winning commercials and branded entertainment for
companies including Miracle Whip, PepsiCo-Aquafina, and TMZ. Some of Deena's executive producing and directing credits include comedic series for Hearst, Cosmopolitan, and the American Heart Association and her digital series for Women in Film premiered at the 2017 Crystal & Lucy Awards.

feature film, NUKED, starring Justin Bartha and Anna Camp, premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in June 2024. It was released by Quiver in July 2025 and is currently available to rent or buy.
In 2016, Kashper directed and executive produced/co-wrote the webseries, CANNABIS
