Mae Mann

Mae Mann is a queer director and writer from the American South, now based in Paris and Brooklyn. She grew up in a place where much was left unsaid, her work carries that same quietness.

Intimate, character-driven films that look closely at identity, family, and moments that stay with us. Her films have screened internationally and have been recognized with a Gold 1.4 Award, a Silver Young Director Award, two Red Dot Design Awards, and a shortlist from PhotoVogue’s WomenbyWomen.

Mae is currently developing her debut feature, December—a tender, winter-set portrait of a
Southern teenager coming to terms with her queerness, her father’s expectations, and the cost of choosing herself.
