Gaëlle Mourre

I’m a Franco-British writer and director based in London. Having lived in Asia, the US and Europe, I draw inspiration from my cultural experiences and apply them to my storyworlds.

I’m a Sundance, SXSW, Venice Production Bridge, Series Mania, Story Futures Academy and LSFF alum. My short films include Awakening (WINNER Best Drama at New York Shorts Film Festival 2015), The Feast (starring Katie Leung, WINNER Best Production Design at Underwire Film Festival 2018) and Mechanical Souls (starring Janet Hsieh and George Young, WINNER Best VR Stereography at the EMEA Lumière Awards 2019).

I’m also a 2019-2020 Directors UK Inspire Mentee and am part of one of 20 projects commissioned by Creative XR to develop a new VR series, supported by Arts Council England and Digital Catapult.

I trained as a writer at the NFTS, from which I hold a certificate, and as writer, director at the London Film School, from which I hold an MA in Filmmaking. I also hold a BA in Art History and Spanish Literature from Skidmore College.

Bilingual in French and English, I work in both languages and am always up for a new challenge, travelling internationally for my projects (when the world is not in Covid chaos).
