略歴

Amber Sealey is an award-winning filmmaker and actor who was born in England and raised in New Mexico. Her most recent film, NO LIGHT AND NO LAND ANYWHERE, had its world premiere at the LA Film Festival where it won a Special Jury Award and IndieWire said the film could “further cement Sealey’s reputation as one of the most promising directors of female-driven stories working the U.S. today.” NO LIGHT AND NO LAND ANYWHERE, Executive Produced by Miranda July, went on to receive the Indie Vision Breakthrough Feature Film Award at Twin Cities Film Festival, and will be theatrically released in 2017. Her second feature as writer, director, and actor, HOW TO CHEAT, won the Best Performance Award at the LA Film Festival, and won both the Best Narrative Film Award and the Best Acting Award at BendFilm. Critics called it “amazing… laugh-out-loud hilarious” and “one of the most relevant and eloquent portraits of modern marriage to date.” HOW TO CHEAT was distributed by FilmBuff. Her first film, A PLUS D, premiered at Montreal World, where critics said, “Fact and fiction are obliterated… edgy, anguished, funny… The acting is astonishing… I thought of Cassavetes, Winterbottom” and was distributed by IndiePix Films. Amber was selected for Film Independent’s Directing Lab and their Fast Track program with her feature script NEW MEXICAN RAIN. She directed Miranda July (ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW) for her scene in her short film, Somebody, and has worked for director Mike Mills (20TH CENTURY WOMEN) pre-directing his actors for commercials.
