Shari Albert is a New York–based writer, director, and actor who tells deeply human stories through a comedic lens. Her most recent short film, Double Happiness, which she directed and co-wrote, serves as a proof of concept for her feature of the same name. The film has been embraced on the festival circuit, winning the Audience Award at the Soho International Film Festival and the Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival, and screening at festivals nationwide, including Lincoln Center's NYJFF, Newport Beach, Denver Jewish Film Festival, Detroit Jewish Film Festival, and many more…

Shari’s first short film, which she wrote and directed, Will You Take This Dog?, earned her the Best Female Content Creator Award at the Bowery Film Festival.

As a writer, Shari was a cohort of The Writers Lab (2022) supported by Meryl Streep and Nicole Kidman, and her screenplays have placed in top-tier competitions. Her work is also published in She Persisted, a collection of monologues by women playwrights from Applause Books.

With over thirty years of experience in front of the camera, Shari brings an actor’s intuition and a storyteller’s precision to her directing. She continues to build a body of work that blends heart, humor, and truth — finding the extraordinary in the everyday. She lives in New York City with her husband and their rescue dachshund, Dr. Watson.
