Erin Galey is an American film director & producer whose work explores the nuances of empathy, identity, and social justice in the sci-fi, thriller, and drama genres.

Her stories are often set in lush natural environments.

Her thesis film “Sahasi Chori (Brave Girl)” premiered at SXSW, screened at 50+ festivals worldwide (including the Director’s Guild of America), and garnered critical acclaim and awards like the Women In Film Directing Award, the Carl Lerner Award for a Film With Social Significance, and Best of Fest at Palm Springs. In 2013 she received a directing shadow position at HBO, studying under Oscar & Emmy-nominated director Lesli Linka-Glatter, and writer Angela Robinson.
