Lynda is a director who's character driven films explore the darker parts of the human condition, but with a levity from the humor in her voice. Born in New York and raised in the UK, she has travelled the world, been a nanny for the super-rich, a Prop House owner, and a single mom, as well as having had a successful career as a Property Master on projects such as American Beauty, True Detective and Stranger Things. When this work could no longer satisfy her creative soul she decided to follow her dream and direct. Her first film Ready To Go won multiple awards on the festival circuit, and was Oscar qualified for 2020. Lynda is a fellow of the Sony Pictures Diverse Directors Program, a 2019 fellow of the WIF mentorship program, and a fellow of The Black Magic Collective Filmmaker Advancement Initiative. She has produced and directed two more shorts, Lancaster Park and Perfect Match, both winning several awards on the circuit. She is in development on two feature films, and a limited series, which she has written. Irrepressible and hilarious, she is who you want to be working alongside when you are shooting in some grotty alley at three in the morning, completing the day and having fun doing it.
