About Phoenix
Phoenix Black, a former aidworker, became a single foster mom during the pandemic. She is the daughter of one of Australia’s first dozen immigrants of color.
Phoenix writes genre benders about personal chaos and adventure, at the intersection of racism, identity and loss, told from her perspective as a woman of color with a disability.
She is a final Draft Big Break Top 5 finalist and has placed at Austin Film Festival, PAGE Awards and ScreenCraft. Phoenix learned the fundamentals of screenwriting from Australian Film Television and Radio School and has a Masters in Public Health.
Her experimental drama horror feature FATHER TRINITY is about masculinity, racism and loss and the dangers of repeating our parents’ relationship pattern.
Her family fantasy drama feature KEANU REEVES IS MY MUSE, MY SON IS A DRAGON, is inspired by her muse, Keanu Reeves, and her foster son, who thinks he is a dragon. Neither of them does the dishes.
