Rachel Lichtman (born December 1, 1973) is an American visual artist, comedy writer, and filmmaker, who created the independent, retro-futuristic channel Network 77[1] in 2017.
Network 77 evolved into Programme 4,[1] an audio/visual channel in the analog aesthetic of television and radio of the 60s and 70s, “broadcasting” from the fictional town of Golden Sands.
She also produced, directed and edited full-length music programs such as Starpop, Musique, and Ted Leo Presents in a vintage Euro-television style.
[1] Lichtman has directed music videos for Ted Leo, Juliana Hatfield, Buffalo Tom, Aimee Mann, Michael Penn, Local H, Laura Jane Grace, The Haden Triplets and others.
[8] As an outgrowth of her work on that podcast, she co-produced a tribute concert called Ode to Bobbie Gentry: Celebrating a Living Legend in 2018 with Tara Murtha.
