Director Bio/Statement:

After starting her career as a photographer and creative director, Child went on to direct music videos for much-hyped artists Doja Cat, Post Malone, H.E.R , and Janelle Monae, among others. They quickly made a name for herself with her bold, stylized aesthetic, the lush use of light and color, and a storytelling sensibility steeped in the dreamy gothic lyricism of the African American South.
