ABOUT ME

My name is Amanda. I'm a director and filmmaker currently based out of Southern Utah. 

​

While originally studying theatre education, I took a directing class that changed my life. As much as I loved being on the stage, I realized how much I enjoyed being behind the scenes and putting together all the pieces to tell a story. 

​

As a guest lecturer for one of my classes, Broadway director Lonny Price told us "Actors are gems, and a director's job is to set them in just the right light to refract their shine and brilliance for all to see". This is a philosophy that I have adopted for my own directing. My aim is not to order my actors how to do something, but to work together with them to produce the best possible result. 

​

When I'm not at rehearsals or in production meetings, I enjoy watching and making movies with my husband James, teaching myself editing software, going for long drives, and listening to The Beatles.
