Director Biography - Kelsey Egan

Kelsey Egan graduated from Vassar College in 2005 with General Honours and BA degrees in both Neuroscience & Behaviour and Drama. Her directing thesis received the Molly Thacher Kazan Memorial Prize for distinction in the theatre arts. She subsequently gained experience on various short films and big features in New York City, and then Beijing.

Since moving to South Africa in 2007, she has worked on large local and international projects (including Searchers, Dark Tower, Of Kings and Prophets, Eye in the Sky, The Giver, Zulu, Mad Max: Fury Road, District 9 and Mr. Bones II) and directed various music videos, PSAs and narrative work of her own. Her directorial debut - "Gargoyle" [26 min, S16mm] - was nominated for a 2010 South African Film & Television Award for Best Short Film. Selected for screening at 16 International Film Festivals, the film was picked up for distribution by Shorts International and IndieFlix.

When not developing original content via her production company, Crave Pictures, Kelsey offers her services as a freelance Director, Producer, Writer and Script Editor. She is a proud member of the Writer’s Guild of South Africa, and one of her feature screenplays was awarded ‘Best Spec Script’ at the 2013 Muse Awards.

As a writer / director, she is represented by Echo Lake Entertainment. As an actress, she is represented by APM and GenerateLA.
