Kelly McCready
Kelly McCready (Director) is a writer/director and photographer/cinematographer from Australia who now resides in Brooklyn, NY. Most recent short film directing projects include The Lady & The Watches, and Perfect Love. She has also been directing for theatre in New York for the last ten years.
Kelly came to the United States to study theatre and political science, and then found herself staying longer than she thought she would. Because of the work her parents did, Kelly lived in England, Cuba, Germany, Spain, Guam and Australia. She studied at Case Western Reserve University and the Moscow Art Theatre School. The stories she’s most interested in usually have a social slant: gender issues, sexuality, climate change, the conflation between religion and morality, and the rise of fascism.
