​About Filmmaker
Lucretia “Lu” Stinnette tells character-driven stories about women navigating complex social realities. Her award-winning short films Quyen, Redondo, and Currency have screened internationally and are recognized for their nuanced explorations of race, class, and identity.

She holds an MFA from UCLA and teaches directing and screenwriting at UCLA Extension.
