Director and photographer, Mollie Mills makes impactful, tender work. Regardless if shooting megastars or nonconformists, Mollie’s compassionate approach entices deep truths out of her subjects as she invites them to share their stories on their own terms.
Most recently Mollie has finished production on ‘PITKISSER’, which launches February 27. Living between documentary, short film and artwork, ‘PITKISSER’ explores the Los Angeles subculture of ‘girl mosh’ – following two girls in search of redemption from violence, finding solace and body euphoria in the hot lick of the pit.
In advertising, Mollie’s empowering ’The Power of She’ for Athleta, starring Simone Biles, was a 2024 Olympic advertising highlight. While her Lululemon spot ‘Together We Grow’ packs artistic punch, highlighting the value of community in sport.
Mollie additionally has directed award-winning adverts for further major brands including Stella McCartney, OnRunning, British Airways, Nike and adidas; a Serena Williams-starring Super Bowl piece, and a musical PSA for the Grammys. She also shot a queer romance-focused video for the XX’s Romy.
Aged 18, equipped solely with a handycam, Mollie won Nike’s Best Young Filmmaker. Soon after, she shot ‘Vogue, Detroit’, a documentary about queer subculture; was named ‘One to Watch’ by MTV, and made the Dazed 100.
