Lottie Graham is a British writer/director living in London. She was born in Jersey, Channel Islands, but also grew up partially in the US and in Canada. Lottie studied English Literature at University and then starting making micro budget documentaries, inspired by her time out west. Lottie returned to the UK and assisted filmmakers, working in the industry for a number of years before she eventually raised a budget for her first narrative short, Scarlet, which secured her a spot at the National Film and Television School and a nomination for “The Next Great Filmmaker Award” at BIFF. She is a Carol Wiseman Scholar. While studying, Lottie has written and directed short films that have screened internationally and at BIFA qualifying festivals such as Women X Film Festival (nominated for “best student film”, “best director”, “best ensemble cast”), EFN Short Film Festival, The North East International Film Festival and Exit 6 Film Festival. Currently she is in post-production with a short documentary following a National Geographic Explorer's unique research in fish communication, while developing her debut narrative feature. Lottie's storytelling centres on naturalistic observation, merging literary forms with film narratives, particularly exploring family and social issues.
