Delphyne Bella Panther-Brutzkus is a filmmaker born and based in Chicago, where her love for punk, poetry, and human complexity meets the world of experimental cinema. With a BFA in Digital Cinema (Directing) from DePaul University, she writes, directs, edits, and often builds her films from the ground up, sometimes literally, with tiny clay houses or handmade costumes. Her practice is rooted in feeling first: pulling concepts from the air and shaping them into something tangible, emotional, and alive.

Her work is split between two beating hearts, one tender, observant, drawn to the beauty and absurdity of everyday moments; the other playful, wily, and willing to twist form and tone just to see what breaks open. Whether she's exploring vulnerability, guilt, or the humor in a hard day, Delphyne creates films like one might write in a journal, with curiosity, catharsis, and the belief that even the smallest moments are worth remembering.
