Career

Wittman is known for her titular role in the Gravitas Ventures film Clairevoyant (2021) which was nominated for a 2021 British Independent Film Festival award.[6] [7] Most of the interview segments in the film were shot over the course of one day and later edited together to form the basis of the script.[8] Made on a budget of 3,000 dollars in the run-and-gun tradition, it was later sold internationally at the Marché du Film after six months of production, mainly shot on the weekends.[9] [10] Because of her ability to make films on low budgets, Wonderland Magazine cited her as an "indie film goddess."[11]

In 2022 she published the coming of age novel, Remy & Arletta, which was based on a true story about two teenagers who lean on their friendship to get through troubling teenage years.[15] [16] It was adapted into a film which premiered at Outfest 2022, before being released in theaters fall of 2023.[17] [18] The story chronicles her own relationship with her alcoholic and abusive mother, and incorporates her experience as a Jehovah's Witness.[19] [20] In July of 2024, it was announced she launched her own production company, Manic film productions, alongside Arthur de Larroche, to further facilitate the creation of their films.[21]

In May 2023, V included her in the annual "The Next Act series" by Hedi Slimane.
