Writer-director Roxy Rezvany crafts fascinating narratives from underrepresented viewpoints. Themes of home, family, gender and oppression are prominent in her work. Even with heavy subject matter to convey, her films are balanced with comic moments.

Roxy’s debut shorts: Honesty and Photo Booth – moving portrayals of the toxic impacts of racism and xenophobia – screened in competition at UK festivals, and garnered BIFA and Critics Circle nominations.

Roxy is in development on a feature-length version of Photo Booth (Somesuch/BBC Films) and a feature documentary.
