Esther Bridget Joy is a visionary writer and director dedicated to experimental filmmaking that challenges conventional storytelling and filmmaking norms. Inspired by the works of Will Sharpe and Pipilotti Rist, she employs a range of filmmaking techniques to create visual metaphors that invite the audience into the character’s world. Her narrative style is characterised by a collage-like, non-linear approach and her work explores themes such as childhood trauma, sensitivity, grief, friendship, identity, the healing power of nature, and personal and spiritual renewal.

At the heart of Esther’s filmmaking is a profound belief in the power of storytelling to foster human connection and understanding. From the get-go, she collaborates closely with actors and crew, fostering friendships and leaving space for improvisation and spontaneity on set. Techniques such as visual montage, dance scenes, underwater sequences, and flashbacks are used masterfully to evoke complex and moving emotional landscapes.

Esther’s films have touched audiences deeply, eliciting powerful emotional responses and fostering introspection. She aspires to continue creating films that resonate on a personal and universal level, encouraging viewers to connect with themselves and the world around them in deeper ways.
