WHO IS EDEN ANYWAY?
Eden Ballantyne is a film director and producer professionally based between New York City and Sydney. She is currently undertaking her third of four years at New York University, working towards a BFA in Film & TV Production and a minor in Linguistics.
Filmmaking has been a big part of her life ever since she was little. Her career started on her 8th birthday when she was gifted a blue Lumix camera - which she promptly lost later that day. Due to this she took a sabbatical from the industry for a few years, but has thankfully since returned.
She is interested in developing works that encapsulate the flavours of nostalgia and the childhood experience from complex moral viewpoints. As a filmmaker and practicing Christian, Eden enjoys stories that explore faith and existence in profound ways which could be meaningful to people of all backgrounds. Her linguistics studies have marinaded many curiosities about how the mind works in different languages, sending her on a quest to see if she can use film as her tool to unearth some common ground of the human experience.
