BONNIE BLUE EDWARDS
director / producer / writer
Bonnie Blue Edwards is an award-winning filmmaker based in Brooklyn. She started as a producer on The New York Times rave-review play Helen & Edgar; a collaboration with the originators of NPR storytelling juggernaut The Moth. She's since been part of the producing team on five stage performances, eight feature films, two live broadcast television events, dozens of commercials, and even an award-winning web-series. Edwards also directed and produced the short documentary Out In Alabama which featured Academy Award-winning filmmaker Cynthia Wade as consultant, and served as a conversation piece during the movement for marriage equality. Edwards has been a creative producer spearheading campaign shoots for Tony-winning Broadway shows, tech conglomerates, and renowned art institutions. Her current project, Death of a Drag Queen, was selected for Gotham Week 2022 and is currently under development.
She's recently released her first collection of comical stories and illustrations called Stressed Out & Scatterbrained. Available for presale here!
Edwards was born in Florida, raised in Alabama, studied and explored in Seattle and Italy, and now (when not road-tripping with her rescue dog) resides in a cozy Brooklyn apartment.
