Wynter Rhys

Wynter Rhys is a Choctaw and disabled Director, Editor, Writer, Slam Poet and Experimental Musician from Seattle, WA. Her films have garnered international attention, winning awards worldwide at festivals and events such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Nashville Film Festival, the National YoungArts Foundation, NFFTY, and beyond.

After being awarded the sole Frances Larkin McCommon Full-Tuition Scholarship to Savannah College of Art and Design, Wynter has since graduated with her Bachelors and now dedicates her ongoing artistic practice to BIPOC-centered documentaries and boundary-pushing art, like her latest autobiographical-inspired songscape and visual project HATEFUL SHIT, which utilizes all real arguments recorded from her own life.

Intrigued by the terrible and wonderful things humans do to each other, Wynter inspects this process in every step of her multi-faceted work.
