Cara Griffin is a queer director, assistant director, and producer based in Brooklyn, NY.

Cara has screened her directorial work at the New Faces New Voices Festival, the New York No Limits Film Series, the Yosemite Fantasy Film Festival, the Orlando Film Festival, St. Bimbo’s Film Church, the Neighborhood Film Festival, and the NYU Gallatin Student Film Festival. She is a recipient of the 2023 NYC Women’s Fund finishing grant in partnership with NYFA and MOME for her short film My Savior.
