About Rebekah

Rebekah Wiggins is a dynamic passionate award-winning writer, director, actor, intimacy coordinator and a certified Chubbuck Acting Technique teacher with fifteen years of experience in film who specializes in telling gritty female centric stories highlighting various ethnic, religious, and sexual orientations. All roads lead her to directing.

Rebekah is a dynamic blend, mama bear meets indie film warrior, a fearless explorer of the human condition. As a director, she’s an innovative non-conformist who explores themes of loneliness, greif, unconditional love and family.

Her varied background as an actor, teacher, intimacy coordinator sets Wiggins apart as a director. This unique combination of talents allows her to connect with artists in an accelerated sincere way that generates innovative transformative collaboration, while keeping cast and crew emotionally and physically safe.

In the midst of a global pandemic Wiggins wrote and directed two vastly different films simultaneously. The first, Clownfish, was shot COMPLETELY REMOTELY on the iPhone11, utilizing Zoom, the FiLMic Pro App and 12 Apple devices hiring cast and crew from all over the world. The second film, Ushering the Light, was shot 50% remotely and 50% with a micro-crew all according to the new Covid-19 Safety Guidelines. Both crews were over 50% female.

Carrying on my family’s legacy as a fifth-generation family member from New Mexico and a fifth-generation artist who is steeped in Southwestern culture, I wrote the female-driven western TV pilot Savage Lot, a finalist in the 2018 Creative World Awards and a Second Rounder at the 2018 Austin Film Festival. I also wrote and directed a teaser trailer titled Great Divide, based on an award winning gothic western script. I’ve been hired to direct this feature in the Summer of 2021.
