Ynez Myers

Ynez is a young female filmmaker, originally from Nottingham but living in South London in the hopes of persuing a career in directing narrative film and music videos. Since a young age Ynez has revelled in film, becoming easily immersed in the worlds of characters and finding the form a great vehicle for empathy. She used film to therapize by connecting with themes and feelings she struggled to communicate in any other way. She discovered Lynne Ramsay as a teenager who was as a door to the world of independent female filmmaking. Ramsay's use of surrealism which acts as an expression of a characters' inner world was a big source of inspiration for Ynez. She will remain writing and directing female-driven stories which can translate her feelings about herself and the world to others, in the hope that others can also feel a sense of catharsis that she so greatly appreciates from other films.
