Kaylee Renaud
Filmmaker · Costume Designer · Writer
New York, NY
I plotted out my first play with untrained pointer fingers, clicking away slowly on the chunky keys of my family's PC. I must have been eight, certainly no younger than seven, and I had never seen a play let alone been trained to write one, but no one corrected me (or my spelling), so I let my imagination run wild. What began as a fantastical escape became my way of processing the world.
Today, I'm a New York-based artist and writer drawn to character-driven stories and mixed media, with an enduring love of storytelling for young audiences. Across theater, marketing, live production, and wardrobe, I have contributed to two feature films, over twenty stage productions, and thirty short films. But whether I'm writing a script, sewing a costume, or framing a shot, it's the same work, and I'm glad you're here to see some of it.
