ZOË GREENBAUM
WRITER-DIRECTOR
Zoë Greenbaum is a London-based, award-winning writer-director. Her feature-length screenplay, Hanging Gardens of the Sea and Sky, a musical comedy-drama with magical-realist touches, has had so many nominations and awards in the past year including Top-10 finalist in Francis Ford Coppola's American Zoetrope Screenwriting competition (with Mr. Coppola as the guest judge) as well a Top-10 nomination in Nantucket's prestigious Tony Cox Screenwriting Awards.
Ms. Greenbaum's 23 minute Short, We Are Bleach (2022), a vibrant, music-driven film about two pansexual punk rockers, immediately garnered Best Indie Short and Best LGBT+ awards in Amsterdam and London, on the same day. "Reminiscent of a young Todd Haynes," Bleach received an Audience choice award in New York and an Emerging Talent Award in London. The film continues to be shown in festivals throughout the U.S. and Europe and will soon be joined by Feel Nothing Inc. (2025), Greenbaum's latest film.
When she is not making films, Zoë is a singer/songwriter and frontman of the band Paradise. She looks forward to releasing her first album, Lost in London, co-written with Grammy nominee and lead songwriter for EMF, lan Dench, later this year.
