About
Elizabeth MacCarrig Dunn is a screenwriter and director born and raised at the Jersey Shore. Her work centers on young perspectives, using them to bring depth and intimacy to places and time periods often ignored or misunderstood.
Having graduated college at only 16 years old and earning her MFA from ArtCenter College of Design by 19, she draws on her unconventional experiences within coming-of-age narratives, often featuring young women breaking societal norms. Her directing work spans narrative, television campaigns, and documentary. She is also a published co-author of the children’s book MacCarrig.
Elizabeth currently resides in Los Angeles, spending her free time watching period dramas, surfing, or playing classical piano.
Directing a film is an intense journey which takes unyielding passion and perseverance, much like mastering a Chopin waltz on the piano. But when finished, the magnitude of the accomplishment is magical. -Elizabeth
