Beth Lane

Beth Lane is an award-winning, multi-hyphenate artist, second generation Holocaust survivor, and life-long activist. Across the breadth of Beth’s skills, her driving force has always been service to others through storytelling and creating spaces to exercise our collective capacity for empathy. Beth Lane began pre-production on UnBroken, her first documentary feature film, in 2017. In connection with the film and promoting its message, Beth has been active in various forms of community engagement, including keynote speaking and panels at organizations throughout the United States. Beth hosted over 40 episodes of a weekly Instagram Live on-camera podcast, Banter with Beth, where she interviewed authors, filmmakers, clergy members, activists, and more, who share her passion for the active pursuit of social change.

Early in her career, Beth moderated talking circles during the height of the AIDS crisis in New York with Northern Lights Alternatives and created the White Plains Neonatal Network for Parents whose children were born prematurely and struggled for survival. Creating avenues for storytelling and healing was a catalyst for larger philanthropic leadership roles and engagement in Los Angeles where she became actively involved with chairing galas and running committees for Leo Baeck Temple, The Children’s Burn Foundation and Crossroads School. Across mediums, leadership is part and parcel to Beth and shines through her work as a director, producer, teacher, and activist. The Weber Family Art’s foundation is the culmination of many thoughtful years of experience as an artist and activist. Established in California in 2023, the purpose of WFAF is to combat antisemitism and hate by driving awareness, engagement and activism through the arts.

Prior to UnBroken, Beth co-produced Romeo & Julio (2018), an LGBTQ LatinX version of Romeo & Juliet, which was screened at the Pride Film Festival. She has been an actress in front of the camera for her entire career working in productions in NYC at The Metropolitan Opera, Caroline’s on Broadway and regional theatres across the country in addition to audiobooks, both commercial and indie feature & short films directed by the likes of Francis Ford Coppola and Christopher Columbus. Beth taught Acting at UCLA where she received her MFA from the School of Theatre, Film & Television; she is also an alum of the University of Michigan, The William Esper Studio, where she trained directly with the great William Esper and was an original founding member of Joyce and Byrne Piven’s Young People’s Company in Evanston, Illinois.
