About the Director
Lily Ahree Siegel (she/her) is an award-winning documentary producer/director from Birmingham, Alabama, with work showcasing on Netflix, PBS, Slamdance Film Festival and was shortlisted as a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Student. Her storytelling started at age four when she began illustrating in sketchbooks. Eventually, she progressed to conceptual video art/installation and then to filmmaking after watching "Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse" (The Gleaners and I) directed by Agnes Varda. Her learned experience as a person with many intersectional identities has a huge influence on her work. Lily holds a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and a MA in Directing Documentary from the National Film and Television School in the UK. She is currently living and working in London, but looks forward to spending the summer back in Alabama.
