Carolyn Robertson is a 19-year-old New York City based film director, cinematographer, and editor from Scottsdale, Arizona. She has made several short films, including a documentary on the Hiroshima bombing and peace movement, which took her to Japan. The film, “Paper Prayers,” has been screened independently at the Japanese Friendship Garden in Phoenix, and honored at film festivals in NYC, the UK, Italy, Tokyo, and more. At 16, Carolyn attended USC’s prestigious Warner Bros. Producing/Directing program, where she created films on the Warner Bros. lot and USC sound stages. Since then, she has earned recognition for projects like “The Bubble” (2022), “Icebreaker” (2023), and “Paper Prayers” (2023).
Now a freshman completing her BFA in Film and TV Production at NYU, Carolyn has worked on over a dozen student films in various roles such as DP, editor, actor, music producer, boom operator, and production assistant. She has also written and directed three of her own short films in New York, all featured on her independent production company’s Youtube channel, Scarlet Door Films.
