Irina Lord is a Romanian-Canadian writer-director best known for exploring women-driven stories with an edge - "subtle, yet unsettling". She holds a BFA in Fine Art from the University of Oxford, and an MFA in Contemporary Arts from Simon Fraser University. In 2022, her debut feature, "Soft-Spoken Weepy Cult Child", was nominated for a Borsos Award for Best Feature, Best Director and Best Screenplay. “With a visual style all its own, this is the sort of calling card feature that announces the arrival of a major new talent to the Canadian cinematic scene” - now available on TVOD in North America (Apple TV, Prime).
