Occupation | Filmmaker, director, producer, actor, writer |
Izzy Lee is an American filmmaker, known for her 2015 short film Innsmouth, which she produced through her company Nihil Noctem.[1][2] She has written for multiple outlets such as Rue Morgue, TwitchFilm, and Fangoria and has also helped program and curate film festivals like the Boston Underground and the Boston Sci-Fi Fest.[3][4]
Lee began showing an interest in horror in kindergarten and later attended the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, where she received a BFA in illustration.[3][4] She initially started as an actor and writer, but branched out into filmmaking in order to "see if I could do it".[4] Lee's first short film, Legitimate, was released in 2013 and was partially inspired by Representative Todd Akin's comments about "legitimate" rape.[3] The following year Lee directed a trailer, Come Out and Play, for Christopher Golden's 2014 novel Snowblind.[5] In 2015 Lee released Innsmouth, which was inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, particularly The Shadow over Innsmouth.[6][7] The short received some media attention for Lee's choice to feature a predominantly female cast, which she did in order to "make [Lovecraft] roll over in his grave a little by having the cast 98% female and switching the gender roles.”[8]
