Rebecca is a filmmaker from NY, based in London, eager to give a TED Talk on Zabar's bagels vs Brick Lane beigels. They're particularly passionate about genre-blending and are committed to the creation of queer, multicultural and sex-positive new work. They originally moved to England to earn their BA (Hons) in Acting from The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, followed by their MA in Screenwriting from The London Film School.

​​

Most recently, they were thrilled to write and direct a BFI Network backed short film, Tumtum, which will soon be on the festival circuit. In other exciting news, Divine Intervention, a short which they wrote, was one of fifteen films shortlisted for The Iris Prize Film Festival (BAFTA Qualifying), where lead Ashley Goh won Best Acting Beyond the Binary. The film is now streaming on Channel 4 for a year after its premiere.

​

Previously, their short films have played at seventeen international festivals, including Outfest LA (BAFTA and Academy Award Qualifying), and Manchester Film Festival (BAFTA and BIFA Qualifying).

 

Puck was one of eight films nominated for Best Narrative and won Best Acting at NFFTY 2023, Buffalo & Wolfy won Best Original Concept at LGBTQ Unbordered 2021, and their debut short Collector's Item continues to screen around the world, particularly with Girls in Film. Additionally, Rebecca's short script Muddy Ripening was a Top 5 Finalist for the Shore Script Short Film Fund in 2022, placing it on The Red List and top 2% of discoverable projects on Coverfly.
