Carly is a writer/director raised in San Francisco by public interest lawyers in a big, loud family. She mostly works in narrative film, usually exploring the tension between self-perception and reality, oscillating between intimacy and spectacle.

She received her BA in Film from Stanford University and has directed festival-circuiting shorts, political ads that aired across swing states, and a monologue series that sold out runs in both New York and San Francisco. Her latest feature script, TWO ROOTS, is available upon request.

Previously, she worked as the creative/development assistant to director Ruben Fleischer and producers Dave Bernad and Elias Gertler (Zombieland, The White Lotus, Jury Duty, Uncharted).
