Arden Wohl, is a 24 year old New York Philanthropist, and budding film director, who has just graduated from NYU.

A hard working, charity-minded and environmental activist, Wohl is often described as the "Anti-Socialite." She is currently working on a movie that will bring attention to the plight of sexually abused and neglected children: The Playground Project.

Wohl belongs to a well-heeled New York family, who are extensivly involved in the art community. Her father,Larry Wohl, is a real-estate mogul, and the art collection of her grandparents, Ronne and Joseph S Wohl. Featuring Matisse, Monet, Braque and Modigliani, sold for a hefty sum at Sotheby's. Wohl and her family are involved extensivly in helping the less fortunate.

The aspiring filmmaker is being called the earthy antidote to the beau monde's bevy of "blond ambition". Wohl recently told a popular magazine: "People have been telling me that I should get a publicist. I'm like, who am I, one of those girls? I hate those girls."

"I mean, I don't hate the nice ones, the ones I've known since I was four... I'm on the committees for a lot of things, but I don't go to a lot of events." So why put on a party dress for Operation Smile, then? "I feel bad for kids' palates."

She has raised significant funds for "The Nest Foundation", a New York Charity:
The purpose of the Nest Foundation is to raise awareness of the commercial and sexual exploitation of children around the world, most especially those who are trafficked within the United States. Charity begins with homes for exploited Children The foundation will additionally support organizations providing assistance and rehabilitation to victimized children and will alter mainstream perceptions of so-called "damaged youth." The NEST foundation, "a total of $150,000 was raised (pre-expenses)

Wohl, who majored in film at New York University film school, is currently producing a documentary, the afore mentioned The Playground Project, about the same cause—with George Clooney and Steven Soderbergh. It is hoped this movie will help raise awareness for sexually abused children.

She recently finished the short Coven, a bizarre, arty, sensual interpretation of “Hansel and Gretel” that premiered last year at Art Basel Miami. A film which was narrated by noted actress Leelee Sobieski. The musical score was performed by award winning director Jordan Galland, and stared recording artist and model Domino Kirke

Wohl’s currently writing a feature film and is pursuing her interest in several causes, including the global anti-genocide campaign—causes to which she seems genuinely dedicated.
