Who am I?

Lindsay Konieczny (Kon-yets-nee). In Polish, meaning essential.

Proud to be of mixed South-Asian and Eastern-European heritage, and part of the 93% state-school-educated.

My coastal city upbringing has taught me a fierce sense of social and racial justice, that has since transcended into a burning desire to make complex, nuanced and surprising stories. Always with equity at their heart.

Trained in writing and directing drama, I have a thirst and specialism in making visually creative and playful films, seeking to blur lines between genres and practices.

My love for people and belief in seeing no stranger (in treating everyone with the respect you would offer to someone you know), enables me to connect honestly and meaningfully, creating space to find raw and intimate moments, with nothing left unsaid.
