Molly LONGWELL is a writer/director AND PRODUCTION DESIGNER residing in Brooklyn, NY.

her work thematically explores an individual’s mental break from reality, typically a female’s subjective reality colliding with the objective “real world.” her worlds are designed by one character’s emotional state, freeing the story and its structure to embody a more surrealist tone.

She studied criminology and aspired to be a detective before becoming a filmmaker.

her most recent short film bad mother was awarded the grand prize at the 2023 new york shorts international film festival. It is now streaming on nobudge.

her SECOND short film titled “disco” IS IN POST-PRODUCTION.
