Rebecca Shoptaw

Hello! My name is Rebecca Shoptaw, and I’m the writer, director, cinematographer and editor behind a number of award-winning short films, along with the critically-acclaimed web series "Middlemarch: The Series."

My work has been featured in The New Yorker, Le Monde, and i-D magazine, and screened at festivals internationally such as BFI Flare, NewFest, and the Pilot Light TV Festival. 

I have an abiding interest in adaptation, and I’m always experimenting, trying to figure out new ways to use cinematic language to take what seems untranslatable in writing and get it onscreen.

Based in NYC.

Would you like me to let you know the next time I release something new?
