Rails & Ties, directed by Alison Eastwood and starring Kevin Bacon and Marcia Gay Harden, was Micky Levy’s first produced feature screenplay. A Malpaso production, the film was released by Warner Bros and premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2007. Since then, Levy has completed several book adaptations, including Funny Boys for Lime Orchard, Dancing in the Dark for Jason Felts, and Sympathy for the Devil for Millennium Films.

Levy received a 2010 Humanitas Prize nomination and won the Epiphany Prize as well as the Christopher Award for her adaptation of Donald B. Kraybill’s Amish Grace. In 2011, Levy won a fellowship to the Film Independent Screenwriting Lab with her script The Education of Tanis Kahlil.

Born and raised in Israel, Levy’s first book of poems was published when she was 15. Two years later, she arrived in Los Angeles. After acting in a number of films, she wrote and produced a short, 2 On U, which successfully screened at various festivals including the IFFM. She honed her skills, studying screenwriting and directing at UCLA and directing several shorts as well as plays. During that time, Levy assisted award-winning writer Arthur A. Ross in addition to covering scripts for Wendy Finerman Productions, Red Hour Productions and the Slamdance Film Festival. Levy also wrote a script with best-selling author Clive Cussler.

Levy is represented at Industry Management, Generate Management and at Abrams, Garfinkel, Margolis, Bergson, LLP.
