raw daisies
is an independent film production company
& digital marketing agency
founded by Katie Elle Weinstein & Michael Feder
operating out of their hometown of Princeton, New Jersey but with production capacities that span the continental United States.
raw daisies is split between a commercial branch focusing on digital marketing for local artisans and a narrative branch which develops and produces work for the screen.
raw daisies believes in the people we work with, whether they be a local woodworker trying to reach new audiences or a first-time filmmaker with a great story to tell. Despite our distinct branches, we really have one mission: to champion voices that might otherwise go unheard.
As a business model, this two-headed approach puts raw daisies in a unique position. As a digital marketing agency, we can draw from the artistic taste that we’ve developed producing narrative work. As a film production company, we can leverage the revenue produced by our marketing work to fund the stories we believe in.

What People Are Saying
“The fact that without any support whatsoever this business has started accumulating commercial clients and has already produced creative content of their own suggests to me that they have both the drive and the skill set to make this production company a going concern.”
— SCOTT ZIGLER, UNCSA SCHOOL OF DRAMA DEAN
“I have no doubt that over the next 5 to 10 years, the budgets for these projects will increase dramatically. What won’t change, though, is Katie’s commitment to excellence, to elevating and amplifying the work of others, and to telling urgent, necessary stories that will deepen and explore the human condition.”
— PETER HEDGES, ACADEMY AWARD-NOMINATED SCREENWRITER
“Michael has the energy and prehensile curiosity of an autodidact, and his thoughtfulness and gift for easy communication make him a tremendous asset in a group dynamic. Michael’s intelligence and maturity—amply demonstrated in his work—coupled with his signal gifts as a writer and performer, make him, I believe, ideally suited to a range of occupations. I’m excited by the prospect of what he will accomplish.”
— DAVID YEZZI, JOHNS HOPKINS THE WRITING SEMINARS ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR AND CHAIR
“Katie is that collaborator that always brings something new to the rehearsal space, actively working to make the production better. I would trust this young artist with any responsibility you throw her way, for she will never let you down.”
— QUIN GORDON, UNCSA SCHOOL OF DRAMA DIRECTOR OF RECRUITMENT
