  “We have all been invested with the purpose and power to act as partners in creation. Word by word we can raise the level of consciousness, and build a bridge between heaven and earth.” – Sigal Erez

  Born to a Sephardic Moroccan Jewish family, Sigal Erez has traveled extensively around the world. She speaks four languages. Her very vivid imagination and creative vision are her strengths. From a very young age, Sigal always said she would one day own a studio, write and direct great movies.

  She completed the full program at Lee Strasberg New York, and later was accepted to the master class in screenwriting at UCLA’s acclaimed Writer’s Program.

  As a newcomer in Los Angeles, she landed roles of many nationalities, including television shows such as Santa Barbara, Star Trek, and a lead in a pilot called DEA,  Sigal Erez Resume Long 09-09-2019

  and others. Sigal also scored the lead role in two feature films that were shelved and never made. (“Shape Shifter”, “Arrive Alive”)

  Although she is very skillful at acting, improvisation, and can do a variety of international accents, her main passion is story telling. She believes creativity is a platform that can raise the level of consciousness in the world.

  In 2000, Sigal’s screenplay “Across the Line”, was produced into a motion picture starring Brad Johnson. Sigal played the lead role of Miranda, winning acclaimed reviews. She was invited as a special guest to speak at Texas A&M University. Distributed by Lion’s Gate, the film won the Silver Award at the Houston Film Festival and Best Film at Texas A&M. In 2017, the film received a new distribution deal with all the major networks.

  Sigal also worked as a television writer and created 13 episodes for a TV drama called Hotel San Miguel for Televisa, under renowned writer and show runner, Sabina Berman.

  The screenplay, “The Battle of Evermore”, she co-wrote with Martin Spottl, advanced to the semi-finals at the prestigious Nichol’s Fellowship. Sigal was hired to write creative proposals that led to successful ventures.
  

  In addition to screenplays, Sigal writes lyrics and poetry. She has a charismatic personality and an ability to captivate an audience. In 2000, Sigal hosted a music festival with Mark Brown at the Hollywood Bowl, and co-hosted the opening of a Latin theater event with Colombian film star Rodrigo Obregon.

  She is the daughter of a Merchant Marine who became a Rabbi, from whom she learned to appreciate the deeper meaning held within the Bible and its teachings. Often, she holds spiritual gatherings and teachings at her home by the beach. Sigal is a mother, and her greatest accomplishment is raising her 15-year-old son Jacob.

  In 2018, Sigal wrote, directed, and produced a film titled “What’s Your Number”, about the unlikely friendship between a holocaust survivor and an African-American boy. The film has been accepted to many festivals and won numerous awards including “Best Social Impact.”

  Currently Sigal’s strongest focus is on all her new projects as writer/director under her production company Highwater Films.
