Caryn Waechter is a film director / DP / photographer based in New York City. She is a graduate of Columbia University’s MFA film program where she concentrated in Directing. Her first short film BEAT, shot guerilla-style on super 8 film in underground NYC clubs, marked her voice as “bold, mysterious and musically-driven.” Her awards include New Line Cinema Award for Best Director for her short film God is Good and Best Female Director from Tangerine Entertainment for her directorial debut feature film The Sisterhood of Night (2015) starring Kal Penn, Georgie Henley, Kara Hayward and Olivia DeJonge about teen girls finding their way through the digital age.
