LIBBY LEE

Originally from rural Michigan, the youngest of three girls--I spent a lot of time dreaming. I moved to New York to pursue my passion of acting, but soon realized that my love of theatre acting wasn't enough to keep me satisfied. That was how I found film and screenwriting. I'm what I would like to call an "actrevist", because if I wasn't an artist, I'd be in politics, where my leadership skills are perhaps better suited. I've been told I'm pretty zany and "quirky" (whatever that means), but I feel that I just have a unique outlook on life. I see art as an opportunity to shape culture in a meaningful way. And that's why I'm drawn to characters who break norms and stereotypes about what it means to be a woman. I try to write and audition for femme characters who know what it means to be at odds with the world, who have taken a beating but still have fight left in them. These are the types of narratives I hope to explore in my work both as an actor and writer/creator.
