Tessitura

I’m an artist and filmmaker living in Brooklyn. I was born in Chicago, but my parents live in the suburbs. I still claim Chicago despite this.

Some of my films include The Script, Caro Comes Out, Across, Beyond, and Over, Botanical Black, and trans·ience. I also produce nonfiction and fiction films including Crystal Kayiza’s Sundance Short Film Jury Award Winner Rest Stop and Lydia Cornett’s Bug Farm, which was distributed through POV and Nowness. Currently, my short film co-directed with Lydia Cornett, Tessitura is screening at festivals across the country.

I’m very fortunate to have the support of The Sundance Institute (2023 Sundance Institute Producers Intensive and 2016 Sundance Ignite Fellowship), The Jerome Foundation, Creative Culture, The Points North Institute, GLAAD, The Gotham, Film Fatales, PBS, and Dear Producer.

My first feature with frequent collaborator, Noah Schamus, is currently in production. It’s called WITH TIME and it’s going into production this summer!

P.S. I graduated from Carleton College's Cinema and Media Studies Program, where I made a lot of weird stuff that is still online.

In 2025, Brit Fryer will attend:
