Gracie Otto

Director


Gracie is the busiest director in the whole entire world.

She has recently directed her first feature SERIOUSLY RED, a music-based Dolly Parton inspired dramedy. It premiered at SXSW and was distributed by Roadshow Pictures and Arclight in the US.

She also loves making a good doco. Her acclaimed debut feature doc on British producer Michael White, THE LAST IMPRESARIO, premiered at the London Film Festival featuring interviews with everyone from Kate Moss to John Cleese and Yoko Ono.

Her second feature documentary, UNDER THE VOLCANO screened at SXSW, and was released globally by Universal Pictures UK. It celebrates the work of legendary Beatles music producer Sir George Martin, and Air Studios, the recording studio he built in the 1980s in the shadow of a volcano in the Caribbean, where the world’s biggest recording artists created the music and myths that defined the era.

Her most recent work includes the upcoming Disney+ series, THE ARTFUL DODGER; multiple episodes of THE CLEARING, also for Disney+, DEADLOCH, a feminist noir comedy, enjoying huge success for Amazon Studios; and is once again set-up director for Season 2 on the reboot of Netflix’s smash hit HEARTBREAK HIGH...

...which she won an Emmy for!

When she isn't directing award-winning TV Series she is shooting short form branded content including a series of beautiful fashion films for Zimmerman. Working locally and internationally she has built an auteur driven brand with style and substance. In Australia, she works on many top advertising and commercials campaigns including a series of ads for iconic Australian underwear brand Bonds. Her fashion films are always visually and narratively inspiring, featuring the most famous international names in modelling and film.

Gracie is one of a kind, if you can get her on your project, you'd be crazy not to.
