Lianne is filmmaker and theater director whose work invokes a more expansive sense of possibility through its flirtation with the sublime, the serendipitous, and the surreal. She was a Drama League Director's Fellow, a creative consultant for the producers of Sleep No More, Project Coordinator at the Foundation for Contemporary Art in Accra, Ghana, and Program Director at Arte Hacía la Vida in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where she lived and worked as a director for several years. Lianne studied directing at Yale (BA), film and immersive design at CalArts (MFA), and has certificates in screenwriting and directing from Sundance Co//ab. Her first film Lullaby premiered at the Breckenridge Film Festival, and her recent film Dérive premiered at the Brooklyn Film Festival and is currently touring the 2024 festival circuit. She is currently in post-production on a documentary about the Shanghai Jews. She is also the host of Strippers and Sages, a podcast about cognitive and somatic liberty. Curiosity is her cartographer, humor is her guru, mystery is her muse.
