Giselle Miller is a Jamaican/Canadian writer, actor, and filmmaker living in Vancouver. She has had the privilege of living in Jamaica, the United States and Canada which have all informed her unique perspective of the world and translates into her work on the page and on screen. She comes from a large family of over 25 aunts and uncles and more than 100 cousins, many of whom reside in different parts of the world.
Giselle fell in love with storytelling at a very young age and won her first writing competition at the age of 13. After completing an MFA in Creative Writing at UBC, she went on to write and direct five short films, her first web series "Young, Single and Black" that follows six Black millennials as they navigate love, sex, relationships and identity in Vancouver, and a film "Dear Dija" about how a marriage is broken down and rebuilt following the loss of a child to overdose. Giselle is developing a talk show about Black Canadians called "ROOTED," a cooking show "Scallion and Thyme," and she is in pre-production on season 2 of "Young, Single and Black."
Giselle was accepted into the Film Production program at Vancouver Film School where she will specialize in directing and producing. She has plans to expand into writing and directing feature films and TV shows. Two of her feature-length screenplays have placed as quarter finalists in the Atlanta Film Festival Screenplay competition and the Inroads Fellowship.
Giselle's future goals include establishing a production company that focuses on telling stories from BIPOC communities.
